MISSION Act Quality Standards 

The MISSION Act Quality Standards comparison data allows consumers to examine VA and regional community provider performance on key clinical quality and experience metrics. These comparisons depict VA facility performance and community provider performance at the measure level to aid consumers in understanding the quality of care available in their geographic region.The metrics included are fundamental indicators of inpatient, outpatient, and patient experience performance that align with three central tenants of VA care:Effective Care: Is based on scientific knowledge of what is likely to provide benefit to VeteransSafe Care: Avoids harm from care that is intended to help VeteransVeteran-Centered Care: Anticipates and responds to Veterans’ and their caregivers’ preferences and needs, and ensures that Veterans have input into clinical decisionsComparative benchmark data is obtained primarily from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Care Compare and from the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA).VA outpatient measures closely follow the specifications set forth by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS). VA has utilized data from NCQA’s Quality Compass® to establish regional averages for hospitals that fall within geographic boundaries that match areas covered by Veterans Integrated Service Networks (VISN).Most metrics reported on CMS Care Compare apply to Medicare beneficiaries (e.g., age 65 and older), while metrics reported for VAMCs may include patients who are not eligible for Medicare due to age and other factors.VA uses the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS®) family of surveys to measure patient experiences. CAHPS was developed by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and is considered the industry standard for measuring patient experiences.

Online refills
With our VA Prescription Refill and Tracking tool, you can refill your VA prescriptions, track their delivery, and create lists to organize your medicines.

Mail refills
Mail back the refill request form that comes with your prescription to the provided address.

Pick up new prescriptions
You can pick up new prescription orders only at the Minneapolis VA medical center outpatient pharmacy, located on the first floor, room 1R-101.
We ask that you don't try to refill prescriptions in person, so our pharmacists can focus on providing care to Veterans with urgent needs and new prescriptions.
