Special Medical Advisory Group; Notice of Meeting

    The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) gives notice under the 
Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. App. 2, that the Special 
Medical Advisory Group will meet on November 24, 2015, in the Freedom 
Auditorium (on the fourth floor) at the Veterans Affairs Medical 
Center, 50 Irving Street NW., Washington DC 20422 from 9:00 a.m. to 
3:30 p.m. ET. The meeting is open to the public.
    The purpose of the Group is to advise the Secretary of Veterans 
Affairs and the Under Secretary for Health on the care and treatment of 
Veterans, and other matters pertinent to the Department's Veterans 
Health Administration (VHA).
    On November 24, 2015, from 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. the Group will 
convene a closed door session in order to protect patient privacy as 
the Group tours the Washington, DC VA Medical Center 5 U.S.C. 
552b(b)(6). At 9:00 a.m. the group will reconvene in an open session to 
review and discuss key points from the Independent Assessment of Health 
Care Delivery Systems and Management Processes of the Department of 
Veterans Affairs, which was submitted to Congress and published in the 
Federal Register in September 2015 and also discuss the Future State of 
VA Community Care. No time will be allocated for receiving oral 
presentations from the public. However, members of the public may 
submit written statements for review by the Committee to Barbara 
Hyduke, Department of Veterans Affairs, Office of Patient Care Services 
(10P4), Veterans Health Administration, 810 Vermont Avenue NW., 
Washington, DC 20420, or by email at [email protected].
    Because the meeting is being held in a VA Medical Center, a photo 
I.D. may be requested at the entrance as a part of the clearance 
process. Therefore, you should plan to arrive 15 minutes before the 
meeting begins to allow time for this. Any member of the public wishing 
to attend the meeting or seeking additional information should contact 
Ms. Hyduke at (202) 461-7800 or by email.

    Dated: October 29, 2015.
Rebecca Schiller,
Federal Advisory Committee Management Officer.
