On
January 23, 2018, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and Department
of Health and Human Services (HHS) Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
(CMS) announced a partnership to share data, data analytics tools and best
practices for identifying and preventing fraud, waste and abuse. According to the CMS press release, “the newest partnership enhances ongoing
efforts between the country’s two largest public-private health-care payment
organizations to help America’s Veterans by leveraging the gains made by CMS.”
The statement goes on to note that the “VA plans to capitalize on the advancements in analytics CMS
has made by concentrating on its use of advanced technology, statistics and
data analytics to improve fraud detection and prevention efforts.” You can read
