VETERANS HEALTH ADMINISTRATION
Quality Improvement using the VA Electronic Health RecordMatthew Bidwell Goetz, MDChief, Infectious DiseasesVA Greater Los Angeles HCS
VETERANS HEALTH ADMINISTRATION
VHA and quality of care
• VA is now recognized nationally for quality
• Transformation into a quality institution occurred in conjunction with other changes
– Reorganization to a primary care-focused system
– Quality measurement and accountability
– Independent data gathering programs
– Public availability of performance data
– Institution of an integrated, comprehensive EHR
VETERANS HEALTH ADMINISTRATION
How did the EHR help improve quality?
• 100% access to records
• Availability of remote data (other VAs) and DoD data
• Ability to identify patients by disease or other characteristics (coding, use of data elements)
• Ability to use data to create reports, provide feedback
• Decision support tools at point of care including reminders to providers

System-Wide Quality Improvement in HIV - Testing
Facilitation by the VA Electronic Health Record (EHR) and the Functionality of CPRS
VETERANS HEALTH ADMINISTRATION
How did the VA EHR and CPRS help HIV testing initiatives?
• Able to identify patients not previously tested and avoid
repeatedly offering tests the previously tested
• Able to use data to create reports, provide feedback
• Decision support tools at point of care
VETERANS HEALTH ADMINISTRATION
Using CPRS – based decision support (Clinical Reminders)
• Used for a wide variety of purposes in the VA– Screening for depression, traumatic brain injury– Screening for Tobacco & alcohol use– Hypertension identification and management– Diabetes monitoring– Vaccination rates– Etc.
• Contributes to attainment of performance standards
VETERANS HEALTH ADMINISTRATION
Examples of Clinical Reminders
• Sample reminders for an HIV-infected patient
• OI prophylaxis
• Hepatitis screening
• Primary care indicators
• Reminders can be determined by the status of the patient
• Reminders can be customized at each facility
VETERANS HEALTH ADMINISTRATION
Provider – specific reminder completion rates
