Thank you.
Thank you so much for being here.
I want to focus on your conversation about outcomes and communication. You say, “Without clearly defined outcomes, we cannot measure success and we cannot communicate effectively with our veterans. If we could focus on specific outcomes, then we can focus the support on what the veteran actually needs, and we can communicate clearly the types of programs available. From the veterans' perspective, this makes the system easier to...understand.”
Basically, you say that we need to clearly define outcomes, including outcomes on how services are provided and what we are actually trying to provide and measure for veterans. In talking about those things, this impacts every other part of the conversation completely, yet it doesn't seem to be something that has been focused on.
You've done a number of reports. Do you have any idea how many?
