Intensity, Characteristics, and Factors Associated With Receipt of Care Coordination Among High-Risk Veterans in the Veterans Health Administration.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) has initiatives underway to enhance the provision of care coordination (CC), particularly among high-risk Veterans. Yet, evidence detailing the characteristics of and who receives VHA CC is limited.

Objectives

We examined intensity, timing, setting, and factors associated with VHA CC among high-risk Veterans.

Research design

We conducted a retrospective observational cohort study, following Veterans for 1 year after being identified as high-risk for hospitalization or mortality, to characterize their CC. Demographic and clinical factors predictive of CC were identified via multivariate logistic regression.

Subjects

A total of 1,843,272 VHA-enrolled high-risk Veterans in fiscal years 2019-2021.
