The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has allowed product vendors to participate in medical procedures for veterans in at least one hospital system, a federal auditor told lawmakers today.
As recently as August, a vendor helped apply skin grafts to patients at a VA hospital, Randall Williamson, a Government Accountability Office director, said during a House Veterans Affairs subcommittee hearing in Washington. He didn’t identify the company that employed the salesperson or say where the hospital was located.
