The Veterans Health Administration within the Department of Veterans Affairs is collecting comments on a proposed information gathering activity under the Paperwork Reduction Act. This initiative concerns recordkeeping, incident reporting, and applications for the Community Residential Care (CRC) Program, including Medical Foster Homes (MFHs). CRC facilities must maintain and provide resident records and report any incidents of mistreatment or neglect. The notice details the forms used for CRC and MFH applications, noting the estimated burden hours and response numbers for these tasks.
Simple Explanation
The Veterans Affairs wants to check if certain places caring for veterans are doing a good job by keeping records and reporting problems. They're asking people to tell them what they think about the forms they use for this, and they want to make sure the forms don't take too long to fill out.
