SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Veterans Health Care Access Received
Closer to Home Act of 2014''.

SEC. 2. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) veterans who are authorized by the Secretary of
Veterans Affairs to receive health care in the community must
not lose the high quality, safety, care coordination, and other
veteran-centric elements that the health care system of the
Department of Veterans Affairs provides;
(2) many veterans receive health care from both the
Department and community providers but the lack of care
coordination among the Department and community providers when
veterans receive purchased care places veterans at risk for
poor health outcomes and results in inefficient use of finite
health care resources;
(3) veteran-centric care coordination is associated with
improved patient outcomes, as Department and non-Department
health care teams coordinate and collaborate to provide the
best care for veterans; and
(4) if the Secretary purchases care for veterans from the
private sector, such care must be secured in a cost-effective
manner, in a way that complements the larger health care system
of the Department by using industry standards for care and
costs.

SEC. 3. REAUTHORIZATION AND MODIFICATION OF PILOT PROGRAM OF ENHANCED
CONTRACT CARE AUTHORITY FOR HEALTH CARE NEEDS OF

the end and inserting ''; and''.
