DoD Watchdog Finds Gaps in Clinical Quality Management
A government watchdog has released findings that Congress’s medical office, which provides care to lawmakers and Supreme Court justices, operated without proper oversight for years. The investigation found gaps in clinical quality management and pharmacy operations, with Navy medical personnel reporting lax adherence to guidelines. The DoD Inspector General’s report was hindered by resistance from the Office of the Attending Physician and Congress’s general counsel, according to the report first published by Navy Times.
