Population-Level Health Intervention and Primary Care Quality for Veterans.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

The COVID-19 pandemic caused substantial disruptions to primary care, potentially impacting quality of care for chronic conditions. The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) implemented the Preventive Health Inventory (PHI) initiative, a multicomponent care management intervention, focused on chronic disease care and preventive screening to support the delivery of delayed care.

Objective

To examine the association of PHI implementation with measures of primary care quality and potentially avoidable health care use.

Design, setting, and participants

This cohort study used VHA administrative data of multiple propensity score-matched cohorts of veterans with diabetes and/or hypertension enrolled in primary care who received or did not receive care via the PHI.
