on March 15, 2018.
The purpose of the Board is to review
health services research and
development applications involving:
The measurement and evaluation of
health care services; the testing of new

management; and mentored research.
Applications are reviewed for scientific
and technical merit, mission relevance,
and the protection of human and animal
subjects. Recommendations regarding
funding are submitted to the Chief
Research and Development Officer.
Each subcommittee meeting of the
Board will be open to the public the first
day for approximately one half-hour
from 8:00 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. at the start
of the meeting on March 13 (HSR 0, 1,
2, 8, and HS8A), March 14 (HSR 1, 2,
6), March 15 (HSR 4, 5, 9), and March

the general status of the program.
Members of the public who wish to
attend the open portion of the
subcommittee meetings may dial 1 (800)
767–1750, participant code 10443#.
The remaining portion of each
subcommittee meeting will be closed for
the discussion, examination, reference
to, and oral review of the intramural
research proposals and critiques. During
the closed portion of each subcommittee
meeting, discussion and
recommendations will include
qualifications of the personnel
conducting the studies (the disclosure of
which would constitute a clearly
unwarranted invasion of personal
privacy), as well as research information
(the premature disclosure of which
would likely compromise significantly
the implementation of proposed agency
action regarding such research projects).
As provided by subsection 10(d) of
Public Law 92–463, as amended by
Public Law 94–409, closing the meeting
is in accordance with 5 U.S.C.
552b(c)(6) and (9)(B).
No oral or written comments will be
accepted from the public for either
portion of the meetings. Those who plan
to participate during the open portion of

Abstract: The Survey of Health
Experience of Patients (SHEP) has been
developed to measure patient
satisfaction in the Veterans Health
Administration, and has been in use in
its present form since 2008. The mission
of the Veterans Health Administration
(VHA) is to provide high quality
medical care to eligible veterans.
Executive Order 12862, dated
September 11, 1993, calls for the
establishment and implementation of
customer service standards, and for
agencies to ‘‘survey customers to
determine the kind and quality of
services they want and their level of
satisfaction with current services’’.
Further emphasized by the Executive
Order 13571, on ‘‘Streamlining Service
Delivery and Improving Customer
Service,’’ issued on April 27, 2011, VA
must work continuously to ensure that
their programs are effective and meet
their customers’ needs. To this end, VA
is always seeking new and innovative
ways to ensure the highest levels of
customer satisfaction.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
