Topline: The Veterans Health Administration has lost an estimated 5% of its reusable medical equipment worth at least $211 million -- including exam tables, computers and microscopes -- and “will continue to do so if processes are not improved,” according to a new audit from the Veterans Affairs inspector general.

Key facts: VA hospitals own over 2 million pieces of nonexpendable equipment that is meant to be used for two years or more, valued at $12 billion. Federal auditors recently visited hospitals to see if the VA was properly tracking the equipment and found that thousands of items had disappeared.
