Veterans fed up with long waits and mixed experiences at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) now have a way to put real power in their hands: a place to literally review the VA like a service on Yelp.

According to a report from Task & Purpose, a news site focused on the U.S. military, veterans, and national security, the new online platform, called VetStats, lets vets rate VA medical centers and clinics on things that actually matter – things like quality of care, mental health access, wait times, and even how pleasant the waiting room coffee is (okay maybe not the coffee…yet).

Right now, the platform is just online but it might be turned into an app in the future.

Created by an Army vet who already built the popular “Hots & Cots” barracks review app, this is for veterans, by veterans – not invented by some bureaucrat behind a desk.

This is real transparency and accountability. It’s vets saying, “Hey, this clinic crushed it,” or “This place could use a little less snark in their service.” And it could push facilities to improve in ways surveys buried in some VA filing cabinet never will.

Think about it: for years vets have been told the VA wants feedback – yet most of that feedback disappeared into a black hole. Now there’s a scoreboard. A spotlight. A megaphone.

Rob Evans, an Army veteran and the creator of VetStats, says, “I definitely want to see better improvements in wait times, quality of care, access to care, and access to care for mental health resources – that’s a big one that we’re seeing; and we’re going to see more of that as we get into care for our Global War on Terror veterans.” He added, “We need to make sure that our veterans are taken care of. We ask a lot from them to do a lot of things, and I think we owe it to them to be able to give them the best care. We expect the best from them. We should be able to give the best to them as well.”
