Importance: Telehealth can expand access to care, but digital needs present barriers for some patients.
Objective: To investigate sociodemographic and clinical associations of digital needs among veterans.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This quality improvement study used data collected between July 2021 and September 2023 from Assessing Circumstances and Offering Resources for Needs (ACORN), a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) initiative to systematically screen for, comprehensively assess, and address social risks and social needs.
Background: In-home remote foot temperature monitoring (RTM) holds promise as a method to reduce foot ulceration in high-risk patients with diabetes. Few studies have evaluated adherence to this method or evaluated the factors associated with noncompliance.
Objective: The aims of this study were to estimate noncompliance in patients who were enrolled in RTM nationwide across Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and to evaluate characteristics associated with noncompliance.
Article Synopsis
- Racial and ethnic disparities in diabetes care quality exist even in high-performing healthcare facilities, highlighting that overall high-quality ratings do not guarantee equitable care for all groups.
- * The study focused on veterans receiving diabetes care from the Veterans Health Administration between March 2020 and February 2021, revealing specific inequities affecting American Indian or Alaska Native, Black, and Hispanic patients compared to White patients.
- * Addressing these disparities is crucial; incorporating equity into quality measures can promote improvements in care for underrepresented groups in healthcare settings.
This study examined the differences by sexual orientation in patient-centered care outcomes (including health care experiences and health-related screening) of veterans utilizing Veterans Health Administration (VHA) primary care. VHA's adapted version of the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems was used to compare the health care experience of primary care services among sexual minority (SM) and heterosexual veterans. Health care experience measures were dichotomized to "always" versus "less" and stratified by SM status.
