Importance: Older adults often require specialized health care expertise, but the effects of geriatrics-focused models of primary care have not been fully evaluated.
Objective: To compare the effects of geriatrics-focused primary care vs traditional primary care for older patients in the Veterans Affairs (VA) health care system.
Design, Setting, And Participants: In this cohort study, geriatrics-focused primary care and traditional primary care patient dyads matched on variables associated with geriatrics-focused primary care entry and outcomes were enrolled from VA medical centers with operational geriatrics-focused primary care clinics serving 500 or more patients annually in fiscal year 2016.
Purpose: In 2020, Congress passed legislation to establish the national Veterans Child Care Assistance Program (VCAP) targeting eligible veterans receiving care through the Veterans Health Administration (VA). This needs assessment describes the childcare needs of veteran caretakers of young children and explores the implications of inadequate childcare on health care engagement.
Methods: Survey data were collected from 2,000 VA users with dependent children; data were analyzed using standard descriptive statistics.
Background: Health services research can benefit from frontline clinician input across all stages of research, yet their key perspectives are often not meaningfully engaged.
Objective: How can we improve clinician engagement in research?
Design: Convenience sampling and semi-structured interviews followed by descriptive content analysis with an inductive approach, followed by group participatory listening sessions with interviewees to further contextualize findings.
Participants: Twenty-one multidisciplinary clinicians from one healthcare system.
