Through vivid depictions of a dozen family groupings, the author
demonstrates that mother animals and birds often train their young
in order to supplement their natural instincts. The deer and her
fawns, the black bear and her cubs, the fishhawk and her nestlings,
the keen-eyed heron, the stupid porcupine, and the mighty moose are
some of the animals whose teachings are described in this book.
Mooweesuk the Coon is called the bear's little brother by both
Indians and naturalists, because of the many ways in which he
resembles the "big prowler in the black coat." An absorbing chapter
on the coon's secret habits begins this volume, followed by stories
about the woodcock, the wildcat, the toad, and many other animals.
Two chapters remarkable for their keen insight into the hidden life
of animals close this volume,─one on Animal Surgery, describing
some of the ways in which wild animals treat their wounds; the
other on Hunting without a Gun, showing the joy of following even
the large and dangerous animals with the desire only to be near and
understand them.

Nearly 40,000 providers hold privileges in VHA's 170 VA Medical
Centers (VAMCs). VAMCs must identify and review any concerns that
arise about the clinical care their providers deliver. Chapter 1
examines, among other things, selected VAMCs' reviews of providers'
clinical care after concerns are raised and VHA's oversight of
these reviews, and VAMCs' reporting of providers to the NPDB and
SLBs and VHA's oversight of reporting. Chapter 2 summarizes the
implementation and oversight of VHA processes for reviewing and
reporting providers after quality and safety concerns have been
raised at selected VA medical centers. Veterans suffer a
disproportionately higher rate of suicide than the civilian
population. Chapter 3 focuses on the extent to which VHA conducts
activities for its suicide prevention media outreach campaign, and
evaluates the effectiveness of its campaign. The Faster Care for
Veterans Act of 2016 called for the Department of Veterans Affairs
(VA) to conduct a pilot program under which veterans can use an
Internet website or mobile application to schedule and confirm
appointments at the department's medical facilities. Chapter 4
examines the extent to which VHA (conducts activities for its
suicide prevention media outreach campaign, and evaluates the
effectiveness of its campaign. VAMCs use reusable medical equipment
(RME) which must be reprocessedathat is, cleaned, disinfected, or
sterilizedabetween uses. Improper reprocessing of RME can
negatively affect patient care. To help ensure the safety of
veterans, VHA policy establishes requirements VAMCs must follow
when reprocessing RME and requires a number of related oversight
efforts. Chapters 5 and 6 discuss VHA's oversight of VAMCs'
adherence to RME policies and challenges VAMCs face in operating
their Sterile Processing Services programs, and any efforts by VHA
to address these challenges. VHA has designated patient advocates
at each VAMC to receive and document feedback from veterans or
their representatives, including requests for information,
compliments, and complaints. Chapter 7 examines the extent to which
VHA has provided guidance on the governance of the program;
provided guidance on staffing the program; assessed the training
needs of patient advocates and monitored training completion; and
monitored patient advocacy program data-entry practices and
reviewed program data. Community-based outpatient clinics (CBOC)
are an important part of the Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA)
Veterans Health Administration (VHA) health care delivery system.
These clinics are geographically separate from VA medical centers
(VAMC) and provide outpatient services, including primary care and
mental health care. Chapter 8 reviews VHA's use of contracts to
carry out core functions. Selected Department of Veterans Affairs'
(VA) medical centers (VAMC) use generally similar approaches for
managing their pharmacy inventories. Chapter 9 describes approaches
selected VAMCs use to manage their pharmacy inventories and
assesses the extent to which VA oversees VAMCs' efforts to manage
their pharmacy inventories. The Veterans Health Administration
(VHA) has made progress improving opioid safety through its Opioid
Safety Initiative (OSI). Chapter 10 examines the extent to which
VHA has met OSI goals established in 2014 and (2) the extent to
which VHA providers adhere to key opioid risk mitigation
strategies.
