Defining Veteran Rurality
Health care access from the rural perspective
PURPOSE: Health care access has been described using several definitions and frameworks, but none are specific to rural populations. We describe ways access to care is measured using the model of access developed by Fortney et al., with a focus on the differential impact on rural populations. METHODS: We describe patient-centered access metrics in rural and urban populations using the Fortney model's five access dimensions: geographic, temporal, …
Temporal Access Barriers among Rural-Residing Veterans with Multiple Chronic Conditions
In rural communities, access to healthcare is often challenged by provider shortages and long travel distances which can undermine the timely receipt of care. We are a group of health services researchers from multiple disciplines (sociology, anthropology, medicine, psychology, health coaching) and as part of a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) quality improvement project, we conducted semi-structured interviews with rural-residing Veterans wit…
Aging Veterans and a Silver Lining of Service
The objective of this study was to explore aging veteran’s military experiences, including serving in conflicts or wars and their military-related health issues, with a focus on the impacts of their experiences on the aging process. A cohort of 48 Pacific Northwest, primarily rural, Vietnam-era veterans responded to a survey questionnaire emailed in 2021. The main survey question addressed in this article is, “Do you believe that your military ex…
Building a Community of Anthropological Practice
The disciplinary contribution of anthropologists employed outside traditional anthropology departments has been a topic of discussion and debate in the field for nearly a century. Alongside industry, nongovernmental, and nonprofit career paths, an increasing number of anthropologists have developed productive research careers outside of academic anthropology departments. The United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), which provides health…
A Qualitative Study of VA Entrants’ Experiences Discussing Community Care With Veterans
We conducted interviews with clinicians and staff involved in Veterans’ decisions about where to receive their health care to assess experiences with community care coordination and identify areas for improvement. Insufficient time and knowledge were cited as barriers to assisting Veterans in making decisions about whether to use community care resources. Concerns regarding quality of community care and lack of patient understanding on the implic…
Building Sustainable Models of Veteran-Engaged Health Services Research
Engaging veterans in research has gained momentum in the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) in recent years. Engagement ensures that health services research is more relevant and tailored to the unique needs of veteran populations. VHA research centers promote engagement through the development of veteran engagement groups (VEGs). Members engage with researchers in organized meetings to review research proposals or projects, and provide individ…
Institutions Don’t Hug People
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has recently increased support for inclusion of Veterans and family caregivers as collaborators on the research that affects them. In this article, the authors—two VA investigators, two Veterans, and two caregivers—draw from nearly a decade of participatory action research to highlight the methods we have employed to build and sustain collaboration. These methods include the following: using ethnographic ap…
Creating Space for Veterans' Voices in the Production of Knowledge
Mixed‐Methods Study of Uptake of the Extension for Community Health Outcomes (Echo) Telemedicine Model for Rural Veterans With HIV
PURPOSE: Extension for Community Health Outcomes (ECHO) is a provider-level telemedicine model successfully applied to hepatitis C care, but little is known about its application to Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) care. We performed a mixed-methods evaluation of 3 HIV ECHO programs in the Veterans Health Administration, focusing on uptake by primary care clinics and veterans. METHODS: Administrative data were used to assess program uptake, inc…
Gatekeepers as Care Providers
International implementation of the patient-centered medical home (PCMH) model for delivering primary care has dramatically increased in the last decade. A majority of research on PCMH's impact has emphasized the care provided by clinically trained staff. In this article, we report our ethnographic analysis of data collected from Department of Veterans Affairs staff implementing PACT, the VA version of PCMH. Teams were trained to use within-team …
Standing at the Edge of Cultural Relativism
Unclaimed Health Care Benefits
PURPOSE: Rural areas contribute a disproportionate number of US military recruits compared to urban areas. However, few studies have examined why many rural veterans do not enroll in the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) for health care. Our objective was to elicit reasons rural veterans chose not to use VHA. METHODS: This mixed-methods study included quantitative survey and qualitative interview data. Surveys were mailed to 4,176 households w…
Observers Observed
From our position as publicly funded anthropologists in the Veterans Affairs, we discuss how anthropological research on Veterans health care offers an opportunity to critically engage with ideas about what constitutes public anthropology. As public sector anthropologists, we are conducting theoretically and ethnographically innovative work. In this chapter, we discuss the implications of this work in regard to anthropological theory and practice
Afterword
In this final contribution in the edited volume on anthropologists working in the Veterans Health Administration within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), the authors reflect on how developments in recent years have brought us to this moment in time from the "insider" perspective of VA anthropologists. These collected papers provide ethnographic evidence for the innovative ways in which anthropologists employed in the public sector constitu…
