• Veterans with Diabetes Receiving Community Primary Care Had Worse Diabetes Care Quality and Higher Costs than Veterans Receiving VA Primary Care
  This study compared the quality, costs, and outcomes of community- and VA-provided primary care for Veterans with diabetes over 12 months during FY 2021–2022. Findings showed that Veterans who received community primary care had worse diabetes care quality and higher mean total costs (driven by higher inpatient and prescription drug costs) than Veterans who received VA primary care. There was no d...

• Veterans with COVID-19 have Greater Risk of Potentially Preventable Hospitalization than Non-infected Veterans
  This study sought to determine whether infection with SARS-CoV-2 is associated with an increased risk of a potentially preventable hospitalization and, if so, how long this association persists after infection. Findings showed that Veterans with COVID-19 had three times greater risk of potentially preventable hospitalization than matched uninfected Veterans within 30 days after infection and more ...

• Higher Preventive Health Inventory Use Associated with Improved Quality of Care
  This study examined associations between Preventive Health Inventory (PHI) adoption and clinical quality measures at 216 VA primary care clinics nationwide that implemented the PHI and had the highest and lowest PHI use as of February 2021. Findings showed that higher uptake of the PHI was associated with improved quality of diabetes and hypertension care. Compared to the lowest use clinics, the h...

• Intervention for Patient-Family Dyads Improves Outcomes for Veterans with Diabetes
  Researchers designed the Caring Others Increasing Engagement in Patient Aligned Care Teams (CO-IMPACT) intervention to provide training and tools to adult patient-supporter dyads. This randomized clinical trial evaluated the CO-IMPACT intervention compared with standard care among Veterans with diabetes and HbA1c>8% or systolic blood pressure (SBP)>150mmHg, each with an adult supporter (239 dyads)...

• Traumatic Brain Injury May Be a Potentially Novel Risk Factor for Cardiovascular Disease in Veterans
  This study sought to determine the association between TBI and subsequent cardiovascular disease (CVD) in post-9/11 era Veterans. Findings showed that post-9/11 Veterans with mild TBI, moderate to severe TBI, and penetrating TBI were more likely to develop CVD compared to Veterans without TBI. Although the risk was highest shortly after injury, TBI remained significantly associated with CVD for ye...
