For the sixth year in a row, veterans have been more satisfied with both inpatient and outpatient care at the country’s VA health system than have patients at private hospitals, according to an annual telephone survey conducted by the National Quality Research Center, the CFI Group, and the Federal Consulting Group. The survey findings reported by the Washington Post show veterans scoring inpatient care an 83 out of a possible 100 points and outpatient care 80 points. In contrast, patients at private hospitals gave inpatient care a score of 73 and outpatient care 75 points.
