Association between Women Veterans' Experiences with VA Outpatient Health Care and Designation as a Women's Health Provider in Primary Care Clinics
Are Comparisons of Patient Experiences Across Hospitals Fair? A Study in Veterans Health Administration Hospitals
BACKGROUND: Surveys are increasingly used to assess patient experiences with health care. Comparisons of hospital scores based on patient experience surveys should be adjusted for patient characteristics that might affect survey results. Such characteristics are commonly drawn from patient surveys that collect little, if any, clinical information. Consequently some hospitals, especially those treating particularly complex patients, have been conc…
When VA Patients Have Non-VA Hospitalizations, Who Pays for What Services, and What Are the Research Implications
OBJECTIVE: To determine, for Veterans Health Administration (VA) enrollees who lived and were hospitalized in New York State between 1998 and 2000, the primary payers for their non-VA admissions, whether the primary payer mix varied by condition treated, and whether the Medicare claims data that VA acquired on its Medicare-enrolled patients captured all or most of their non-VA inpatient care. METHODS: Using VA and New York State administrative an…
Performance Measures, Vaccinations, and Pneumonia Rates Among High-Risk Patients in Veterans Administration Health Care
Objectives. Influenza and pneumococcal vaccinations reduce morbidity, mortality, and health care costs, but their use lags behind goals set by public health experts. We evaluated the effect of a performance measurement program instituted by the Veterans Health Administration in 1995 to improve vaccination rates. Methods. We used cross-sectional chart-abstracted data to calculate influenza and pneumococcal vaccination rates among eligible patients…
Measuring Performance Directly Using the Veterans Health Administration Electronic Medical Record
BACKGROUND: Electronic medical records systems (EMR) contain many directly analyzable data fields that may reduce the need for extensive chart review, thus allowing for performance measures to be assessed on a larger proportion of patients in care. OBJECTIVE: This study sought to determine the extent to which selected chart review-based clinical performance measures could be accurately replicated using readily available and directly analyzable EM…
Veterans Health Administration Patients’ Use of the Private Sector for Coronary Revascularization In New York
OBJECTIVE: We sought to quantify Veterans Health Administration (VA) patients' utilization of coronary revascularization in the private sector and to assess the potential impact of directing this care to high-performance hospitals. METHODS: Using VA and New York State administrative and clinical databases, we conducted a retrospective cohort study examining residents of New York State who were enrolled in the VA and underwent either coronary arte…
Veterans Health Administration and Medicare Outpatient Health Care Utilization by Older Rural and Urban New England Veterans
Context: Older veterans often use both the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) and Medicare to obtain health care services. Purpose: The authors sought to compare outpatient medical service utilization of Medicare‐enrolled rural veterans with their urban counterparts in New England. Methods: The authors combined VHA and Medicare databases and identified veterans who were age 65 and older and enrolled in Medicare fee‐for‐service plans, and they o…
Impact of Race on Cardiac Care and Outcomes in Veterans With Acute Myocardial Infarction
OBJECTIVES: The goal of this study was to assess racial differences in process of care and outcome for acute myocardial infarction in the VA health care system. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study using clinical data. SETTING: Eighty-one acute care VA hospitals. PATIENTS: Four thousand seven hundred sixty veterans discharged with a confirmed diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. The analysis was restricted to 606 black and 4005 white patients.…
Increasing Use of Medicare Services by Veterans With Acute Myocardial Infarction
OBJECTIVES: Some of the nation's 26 million veterans have two government-financed health care entitlements: Medicare and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The aims of this investigation were to examine trends where Medicare-eligible VA users are initially hospitalized for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and then to assess rates of cardiac procedure use and mortality for veterans initially admitted to each system of care. METHODS: We used…
Outcomes of Acute Myocardial Infarction in the Department of Veterans Affairs
OBJECTIVES: This study examines the association between the regional availability of cardiac technology and outcomes of care for patients admitted to Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) hospitals. Patients using the VA regional medical system initially are admitted to a hospital with or without the on-site availability of technology-intensive cardiac services. METHODS: The authors identified male veterans (n = 24,229) discharged from VA hospitals…
