Top lawmakers on the House and Senate committees introduced the Sen. Elizabeth Dole 21st Century Veterans Healthcare and Benefits Improvement Act on Tuesday.
In addition to pay and workforce provisions, the legislative package would set new requirements for the VA to meet before it resumes the rollout of a new Electronic Health Record, which remains on hold as the department addresses issues at sites already using the new system.

Customer Reviews
Excellent presentations
Thank you for the bounty of information. Well communicated (excellent broadcasters) discussing a wide array of topics.
Please remove second half of the episode
The stories are ok until they are over and the next part begins.
Please fix!!
After every episode finishes it begins the lessons learned leadership podcast with a interview with the CEO of Navy Fed Credit Union. Why?! Love this podcast but it is painful to listen to that introduction every single time after the podcast end.
