Urban Versus Rural Differences in Services Requested, Received, and Interest Expressed Among Informal Caregivers of Older U.S. Veterans
“Kind of Feel Like the Lone Outpost”
Inflammatory Biomarkers Differ among Hospitalized Veterans Infected with Alpha, Delta, and Omicron Sars-CoV-2 Variants
Mortality due to COVID-19 has been correlated with laboratory markers of inflammation, such as C-reactive protein (CRP). The lower mortality during Omicron variant infections could be explained by variant-specific immune responses or host factors, such as vaccination status. We hypothesized that infections due to Omicron variant cause less inflammation compared to Alpha and Delta, correlating with lower mortality. This was a retrospective cohort …
We Got an Invite into the Fortress”
Responding to identified needs for increased veterans' access to healthcare, in 2010 the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) launched the Veteran Community Partnership (VCP) initiative to "foster seamless access to, and transitions among, the full continuum of non-institutional extended care and support services in VA and the community". This initiative represents an important effort by VA to promote collaboration with a broad range…
The Impact of a Change in the Price of VA Health Care on Utilization of VA and Medicare Services
INTRODUCTION: The passage of the Veterans Access, Choice, and Accountability Act of 2014 has expanded the non-Veteran Affairs (VA) care options for eligible US Veterans. In order for these new arrangements to provide the best care possible for Veterans, it is important to understand the relationship between VA and non-VA care options. The purpose of this study was to use another recent VA policy change, one that increased the reimbursement rate t…
Supporting Caregivers of Rural Veterans Electronically (SCORE)
BACKGROUND: The increasing prevalence of dementia, including among rural veterans, highlights the improved outcomes possible for caregivers who receive effective support. However, providing these complex interventions in rural areas presents challenges. Internet-based and telephone-based caregiver support can potentially expand access to effective support. METHODS: We designed a multisite intervention for caregivers of veterans with dementia. Car…
Utilization of Travel Reimbursement in the Veterans Health Administration
PURPOSE: To improve access to care, the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) increased its patient travel reimbursement rate from 11 to 28.5 cents per mile on February 1, 2008, and again to 41.5 cents per mile on November 17, 2008. We identified characteristics of veterans more likely to receive travel reimbursements and evaluated the impact of these increases on utilization of the benefit. METHODS: We examined the likelihood of receiving any rei…
The Effect of Increased Travel Reimbursement Rates on Health Care Utilization in the VA
Purpose : The reimbursement rate that eligible veterans receive for travel to Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) facilities increased from 11 to 28.5 cents per mile on February 1, 2008. We examined the effect of this policy change on utilization of outpatient, inpatient, and pharmacy services, stratifying veterans based on distance from a VA facility. Methods : We compared health care utilization and costs on a sample of VA patients in the 10.5 …
