Findings and Recommendations From the State of the Art (Sota) Conference on Nursing Research to Improve Veteran Outcomes
The Veterans Health Administration (VHA), the largest employer of nurses in the United States, has more than 120,000 nursing personnel providing care to over 9 million Veterans across diverse settings. Despite nursing’s central role in delivering and sustaining care, research on strengthening the nursing workforce and optimizing nursing practice has remained underdeveloped in VHA. To address this gap, VHA’s Office of Research and Development, in …
Reaching Consensus on Long Covid Symptoms and Patient-Reported Outcomes Across the Veterans Health Administration Using a Modified Hybrid Nominal Group-Delphi Approach
BACKGROUND: A consistent approach to track Long COVID symptoms at the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) was lacking. OBJECTIVES: To reach consensus among clinical stakeholders on how long COVID symptoms should be assessed at VHA outpatient visits and recommend an assessment battery. RESEARCH DESIGN: Hybrid Delphi-Nominal Group approach. SUBJECTS: Members of the VHA Long COVID Field Advisory Board (FAB) and the VHA Long COVID Community of Pract…
The Work–Opioid Connection
Innovations in Community Care Programs, Policies, and Research
Since 2014, Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has dramatically shifted the ways in which Veterans can receive care. While a substantial majority of Veteran care is provided at one of the 170 VA Medical Centers and 1074 outpatient sites of care nationwide, the Veterans Access, Choice and Accountability Act (Choice Act) (2014) and the VA MISSION Act (MISSION Act) (2018) provided Veterans increased opportunities to receive care from community prov…
High-Risk, High-Impact Health Services Research
As health systems strive towards innovative solutions to healthcare problems, research programs should be a crucial resource to support the evidence base of innovation. Unfortunately, current research funding processes and infrastructure often produce incremental improvements over an extended timeline. Within the Veterans Health Administration (VHA), the Health Services Research & Development (HSR&D) service used the need for greater innovation t…
Achieving Health Equity
The ability to deliver a consistent product and outcome is a defining factor of a “high-reliability” system. The persistence of health care disparities based on race/ethnicity, income, sex or sexual orientation, and residence is a stark reminder that health inequity is pervasive in the United States and that our health care system is far from becoming a highly reliable system. Moreover, there is increasing recognition that factors outside of heal…
Accelerating Research Impact in a Learning Health Care System
BACKGROUND: Since 1998, the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Quality Enhancement Research Initiative (QUERI) has supported more rapid implementation of research into clinical practice. OBJECTIVES: With the passage of the Veterans Access, Choice and Accountability Act of 2014 (Choice Act), QUERI further evolved to support VHA's transformation into a Learning Health Care System by aligning science with clinical priority goals based on a strateg…
Culture shapes empathic responses to physical and social pain
The present research investigates the extent to which cultural background moderates empathy in response to observing someone undergoing physical or social pain. In 3 studies, we demonstrate that East Asian and White British participants differ in both affective and cognitive components of their empathic reactions in response to someone else's pain. Compared with East Asian participants, British participants report greater empathic concern and sho…
The Role of Research in a Time of Rapid Change
The coming year will bring a set of fundamental changes to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) as the VA undergoes substantial reorganization and works to restore the trust that was seriously ruptured by recent scandals involving delays in access to care. Foremost of these changes will be implementation of the Veterans Access, Choice and Accountability Act of 2014, which provides $10 billion for increasing non-VA care options for Veterans wai…
Health Equity Research in the Veterans Health Administration
The Future of Health Information Technology
The Veterans Health Administrations (VHA) has been a leader in health informatics for over 30 years. The VHA helped lead the early development of health information systems in the 1980s and led the first wide-scale deployment of an electronic health record (EHR)—the VHA’s Computerized Patient Record System (CPRS)—in the late 1990s. The clinician-designed CPRS played an integral role in system-wide improvements in VHA, through ensuring access to c…
Creating and Synthesizing Evidence With Decision Makers in Mind
BACKGROUND: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) remain the accepted "gold standard" for determining the efficacy of new drugs or medical procedures. Randomized trials alone, however, cannot provide all the relevant information decision makers need to determine the relative risks and benefits when choosing the best treatment of individual patients or weighing the implications of particular policies affecting medical therapies. OBJECTIVES: To demon…
