Veterans' health care in the U.S. is separated geographically into 21 regions (numbered 1-12 and 15-23) 〔In January 2002, the Veterans Health Administration announced the merger of VISNs 13 and 14 to create a new, combined network, VISN 23. (''Transition Watch'' ), Vol. 5, No 3, May 2002, p.3.〕 known as VISNs, or Veterans Integrated Service Networks, into systems within each network headed by medical centers, and hierarchically within each system by division level of care or type. This article lists VA VISN facilities by region, location, and type. VA medical facilities and Vet Centers are run by the Veterans Health Administration of the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, while community-based outpatient clinics are run by civilian medical practitioners within a community and serve the veterans of those communities in partnership with the VA. Vet Centers focus on post-war adjustment, counseling and outreach services for veterans and their families. There are currently 152 VA Medical Centers and approximately 1400 community-based outpatient clinics in the US.〔http://www.va.gov/health/findcare.asp〕 Facilities types (level of care types) are listed in the VISN tables below as: : *Network System Headquarters (HQ) : *Network Health Care System (HCS) : *VA medical centers (VAMC) : *Division (Inpatient/Outpatient) (DIVIO) : *Domiciliary Care (DOM) : *Outpatient Clinic (OPC) : *Community Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC) : *VA Independent Outpatient Clinic (IOC) : *VA/DoD Joint Venture Site (VADOD) : *Vet Center (VC) : *Mobile Vet Center (MVC) : *VA Outreach Clinic (ORC) : *VA Rehabilitation Center (REHAB) : *Community Service Program (CSP) ==VISNs 1 through 23== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of Veterans Affairs medical facilities」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
