Curbing the Growing Fragmentation of Veterans’ Health Care
Spending by the Veterans Affairs Health Care System for Medicare Advantage Enrollees
This cohort study estimates US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) spending for veterans dually enrolled in the VA health care system and Medicare Advantage from 2019 to 2023
Differences in use of Veterans Health Administration and non‐Veterans Health Administration hospitals by rural and urban Veterans after access expansions
PURPOSE: To examine changes in rural and urban Veterans' utilization of acute inpatient care in Veterans Health Administration (VHA) and non-VHA hospitals following access expansion from the Veterans Choice Act, which expanded eligibility for VHA-paid community hospitalization. METHODS: Using repeated cross-sectional data of VHA enrollees' hospitalizations in 9 states (AZ, CA, CT, FL, LA, MA, NY, PA, and SC) between 2012 and 2017, we compared rur…

Veteran Use of Health Care Systems in Rural States
OBJECTIVE: To quantify use of VA and non-VA care among working-age veterans with private insurance by linking VA data to private health insurance plan (PHIP) data. METHODS: Demographics and utilization were compared between dual users of VA and non-VA systems versus single-system users for veterans < 65 living in 2 rural Midwestern states concurrently enrolled in VA health care and a PHIP for ≥ 1 complete federal fiscal year from 2000 to 2010. Ch…
Agreement Between Hedis Performance Assessments in the VA and Medicare Advantage
Medicare Advantage (MA) plans and the Veterans Affairs (VA) health care system assess quality of care using standardized Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) performance measures. Little is known, however, about the relative accuracy of quality indicators for persons receiving care in more than one health care system. Among Veterans dually enrolled in an MA plan, we examined the agreement between MA and VA HEDIS assessments. …
Effect of the Transformation of the Veterans Affairs Health Care System on the Quality of Care
BACKGROUND: In the mid-1990s, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) health care system initiated a systemwide reengineering to, among other things, improve its quality of care. We sought to determine the subsequent change in the quality of health care and to compare the quality with that of the Medicare fee-for-service program. METHODS: Using data from an ongoing performance-evaluation program in the VA, we evaluated the quality of preventive, …

Quality Enhancement Research Initiative (Queri)
This article provides an overview of the Quality Enhancement Research Initiative (QUERI), an ambitious attempt to develop a data-driven national quality-improvement program for the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) that is fully integrated within VHA's Strategic Framework for Quality Management, as discussed elsewhere in this supplement. QUERI is designed to ensure the systematic translation of findings and products (quality tools that promote…
Reinventing VA Health Care
The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) in the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) manages the largest fully integrated health care system in the United States. In 1995, the VHA initiated a reinvention effort that included the most radical redesign of VA health care to occur since the veterans health care system was formally established in 1946. The 2 paramount goals of this reinvention effort were to ensure the predictable and consistent pro…

How Economic Demand Influences Access to Medical Care for Rural Hispanic Children
OBJECTIVES: In a study of access to medical care, the authors analyzed the relationship between factors influencing demand, local unmet needs, and the availability of physicians in a rural California community. METHODS: The California Department of Health Services screened 1,697 (90%) of children aged 1 to 12 years in McFarland, CA. The relation of demand to unmet needs was examined using multiple logistic regression. Factors influencing demand f…
Alcohol-related mortality in California, 1980 to 1989
OBJECTIVES. This study sought to examine the impact of alcohol use and misuse on mortality in California during the 1980s. METHODS. Alcohol-Related Disease Impact estimation software and California vital statistics data were used to calculate alcohol-related mortality, mortality rates, and years of potential life lost. Statistical tests were applied to detect significant differences in death rates by sex and race/ethnicity. Time trends in death r…
Distribution of HIV type 1 infection in childbearing women in California
The incidence of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is increasing among California heterosexuals and children. To assess human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 infection in childbearing women, we conducted a blinded serosurvey of newborns. Dried blood specimens taken from 99% of California births during the third quarter of 1988 (n = 135,808) and linked only to maternal demographic categories were tested for HIV-1 antibody by enzyme immunoas…
Elevated blood lead in California adults, 1987
California medical laboratories that test for blood lead are required to report results exceeding 1.21 mumols/L (25 micrograms/dl). Between April and December 1987, the California Department of Health Services received 3,077 blood lead reports from 34 laboratories for 1,293 civilian, non-institutionalized adults. Approximately 1 percent of all reports exceeded 3.87 mumols/L (80 micrograms/dl), 7 percent exceeded 2.42 mumols/L (50 micrograms/dl), …
Model Standards impact on local health department performance in California
An evaluation of a state-local negotiation process to implement Model Standards in 18 California local health departments was conducted during 1985-87. Model Standards specific to California were developed by state and local public health officials for seven programs. Nine counties participated in state-local negotiations to set performance standards in these seven programs. During the two-year effort, greater use of Model Standards and more impr…

Exposure to aerial malathion application and the occurrence of congenital anomalies and low birthweight
The association between exposure to low dose malathion, after its aerial application to 13,000 square miles in the San Francisco Bay area, and the occurrence of birth defects and low birthweight was examined using newborn hospital discharge data and vital records. No biologically plausible pattern of association was found. Limitations in the data and analysis are discussed
