Welcome to Region 1 VA SCAN

Region 1 VA SCAN (Specialty Care Access Network) is an innovative and transformative healthcare program developed by the Office of Healthcare Transformation in cooperation with the Office of Specialty Care and the Office of Primary Care to treat chronic and complex diseases in remote and underserved areas of VISN’s 1 through 4. Through the use of evolving technology, VA SCAN bridges the gap between urban healthcare specialists and primary care providers and PACT teams in remote settings.

VA SCAN is PACT Friendly

Collaboration between PACT whitespecialists and remote PCPs and PACT teams enable veterans throughout the VISNs to receive state-of-the-art healthcare from the professionals they know and trust in their own communities. 

For PCPs and PACT teams, co-management of the often lengthy and involved treatments brings added depth and technical competencies and reduces professional isolation.  With continued involvement providers become highly skilled in the treatment of these chronic and complex diseases, thus creating a center of excellence in their community.

 The end result is better quality of care and greater access to specialty care for all veterans.
