To foster collaboration and knowledge diffusion in Access and Community Care research among VA investigators, VA Operational Partners, VISN and VA facility leadership to support and inform national priorities for achieving high-quality and timely access to care. We will continue to develop and enhance our relationships with existing partners and develop new relationships with operations programs.
ACCENT will serve as a national collaborative network of VA researchers and operations partners, to share and disseminate information across research, operations, and VA leadership.
