• MISSION Act Associated with Higher Risk of Adverse Outcomes Among Veterans Receiving Major Cardiovascular Procedures in Non-VA Facilities
  This study aimed to measure the MISSION Act’s impact on Veterans’ travel times and outcomes for major cardiovascular procedures. Investigators characterized Veterans who received non-VA MISSION Act care (lived >60 minutes from a VAMC) as “far” Veterans, vs. “near” Veterans, who received care at VAMCs. Findings showed that MISSION Act implementation was associated with decreased VA hospital use and...

• Telehealth Mindfulness-Based Interventions Improve Pain-Related Function and Biopsychosocial Outcomes Among Veterans with Chronic Pain
  This randomized clinical trial aimed to test the effectiveness of two scalable, 8-week telehealth mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) – group and self-paced – compared to usual care. Findings showed that both the group and self-paced MBI significantly improved pain-related function and biopsychosocial outcomes compared to usual care. Group and self-paced MBIs performed similarly. Averaged acros...

• Veterans with Atrial Fibrillation at VAMCs Serving More Minorities Less Likely to Receive Anticoagulation for Stroke Prevention
  This study sought to determine whether medical center racial/ethnic composition is associated with initiation of anticoagulant therapy for Veterans with incident AF. Findings showed that initiation of any anticoagulant and warfarin therapy was significantly lower among Veterans at VAMCs serving larger proportions of minoritized patients. There was no association between initiation of newer, guidel...

• VA’s Referral Coordination Initiative Does Not Measurably Affect VA or Community Care Wait Times or Community Care Referrals
  This study investigated whether the Referral Coordination Initiative (RCI) was associated with changes in the proportion of VA specialty referrals completed by community-based care (CC) providers and mean appointment waiting times for VA and CC providers. Findings showed that in the initial years of the RCI program, RCI implementation did not measurably affect CC referral rates or wait times at VA...
