Bill overview
This bill aims to improve access to anesthesia care for veterans receiving treatment at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). It directs the VA Secretary to align its anesthesia standards with those of the Department of Defense, ensuring certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) have greater autonomy and are certified to the same standards as physician anesthesiologists. The bill also mandates specific certification requirements for anesthesia providers and requires the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to conduct and publish a report analyzing the effectiveness and cost of different anesthesia delivery models within the VA.
