The Effect of Geriatrics Evaluation and Management on Nursing Home Use and Health Care Costs
BACKGROUND: The Geriatric Evaluation and Management study was developed to assess the impact of a comprehensive geriatric assessment service on the care of the elderly. OBJECTIVES: We sought to evaluate the cost and clinical impact of inpatient units and outpatient clinics for geriatric evaluation and management. RESEARCH DESIGN: We undertook a prospective, randomized, controlled trial using a 2x2 factorial design, with 1-year follow-up. SUBJECTS…

Enhancing Protections for Human Participants in Clinical and Health Services Research
The authors provide brief information about the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the Veterans Health Administration, to establish an understanding of this large, multifaceted organization. They then offer an overview of the VA’s Office of Research and Development, with particular emphasis on recent and ongoing efforts to enhance protection of the rights of human participants in clinical research. The authors discuss various policies and re…
Multisite Randomized Controlled Trials in Health Services Research
Although well-designed randomized controlled trials (RCT) provide the strongest evidence regarding causation, only relatively recently have they been used by health services researchers to study the organization, delivery, quality, and outcomes of care. More recent yet is the extension of multisite RCTs to health services research. Such studies offer numerous methodological advantages over single-site trials: (1) enhanced external validity; (2) g…
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…

The Relationship Between Glycemic Control and Health-Related Quality of Life in Patients With Non-Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus
The relationship between glycemic control and health-related quality of life was examined in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). Within the context of a randomized controlled trial, 275 patients with NIDDM receiving primary care from a Veteran's Administration general medical clinic were enrolled and monitored for 1 year. Glycemic control (glycosylated hemoglobin levels) and health-related quality of life (Medical Outco…
Improving Physicians?? Recognition and Treatment of Depression in General Medical Care
A randomized clinical trial was performed to assess whether the results of a depression screening instrument, when provided to physicians, could influence their recognition and treatment of depression in a primary care setting. The intervention consisted of randomly informing or not informing physicians of the depression status of 100 patients who screened positively for depression on both the Zung Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) and a DSM-III…
