1.1 Background
The Veterans Affairs Information Resource Center (VIReC), a national resource center of the Health Services Research and Development Service, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), produced the VIReC Research User Guide: FY2014 VHA Medical SAS Outpatient Datasets and Inpatient Encounters Dataset. This edition of the guide, together with its inpatient complement, describes the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Medical SAS Datasets and changes that have occurred in the Datasets since the publication of the last RUG, VIReC Research User Guide: FY2009 VHA Medical SAS® Outpatient Datasets and Inpatient Encounters Dataset [1]. VIReC issues this guide to help health service researchers and other users of these data understand their origins, structure, and content. VIReC’s first research user guides (RUG) described the FY1999 Medical SAS Inpatient and Outpatient Datasets [2,3]. The guides grew out of the work by Martha Beattie, PhD, Ralph W. Swindle, PhD, Lynn A. Tomko, and other authors of the five-volume Department of Veterans Affairs Database Resources Guide. The Database Resources Guide was supported by the VA Health Services Research and Development Service through Service Directed Research Project 91-009 awarded to Ralph Swindle [4]. VIReC also produced RUGs to the FY2000, FY2002, FY2004, FY2006, and FY2009 Datasets. See Section 1.2, What’s New?, for a description of what is new in this FY2014 edition. Each guide describes the Medical SAS Datasets for the fiscal year indicated in the RUG title as well as changes made to the Datasets since the previous guide. Since each RUG describes the data contained in specific fiscal year datasets, researchers using the Medical SAS Datasets may need to use previously published RUGs in addition to the most recently published edition if the data they are using spans one or more earlier time periods. For example, researchers using FY2013 data will use this version of the guide, whereas those using FY2008 or FY2009 data should consult the FY2009 edition. Readers using visual devices may call the VIReC HelpDesk at 708-202-2413 for assistance with information provided in this guide.

1.3 Methods for Updating this Guide
VIReC used numerous sources of information to update this guide. Most importantly, VIReC staff members consulted staff members from National Data Systems (NDS; VHA Office of Informatics and Analytics, Health Information Governance), which oversees the construction and maintenance of the Medical SAS Datasets. VIReC staff members attend weekly NDS meetings that report database changes and the VIReC Technical Advisory Committee includes NDS staff members. In addition, VIReC staff members regularly consult the official record of changes to the National Patient Care Database (NPCD; source database for the Medical SAS Datasets) posted on the VA Intranet NPCD Website [5]. To further investigate variable changes and the accuracy of the information in this guide, VIReC staff members compared the contents of the FY2014 datasets to information in the FY2009 edition of the guide. Staff members resolved conflicting information by consulting with NDS staff members and experienced researchers. VIReC staff members identified longitudinal changes in variable lengths, formats, and labels by comparing the contents of the datasets from FY1999 through FY2014. VIReC staff members identified sections of the guide that needed elaboration or clarification by reviewing questions submitted to the VIReC HelpDesk and discussions on the HSRData-L Listserv (an e-mail group maintained by VIReC). VIReC staff members made editorial changes to the FY2009 edition in response to user requests and in a general effort to improve the guide’s readability and utility. Finally, VIReC staff members made revisions based on feedback received from the Health Services Research & Development (HSR&D) research community and NDS staff members.

2.1 Background
VA health care facility staff members across the United States and Puerto Rico enter patient care information into Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture (VistA), the main information collection and data management system in the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). A select set of data collected during patient health care encounters are entered in local health care facilities VistA systems and then electronically transferred from each local VistA system to a centralized data warehouse, the National Patient Care Database (NPCD), maintained at the Austin Information Technology Center (AITC) in Austin, Texas. AITC staff members then construct the Medical SAS Datasets from NPCD data extracts. National Data Systems (NDS) oversees the construction of extracts from the NPCD and makes the extracts available in the form of SAS datasets to authorized users. NDS monitors and provides oversight for the information systems at AITC and is responsible for program and project coordination between VHA program offices and AITC. Figure 1 below illustrates the data progression. Figure 1. Data progression from VHA Medical Centers to the AITC and to the Medical SAS Outpatient Datasets

NPCD data at AITCmonitored by NDS
Inpatient Encounters (IE) Dataset: The Inpatient Encounters Datasetprovides information about professional services received by patients during an inpatient stay (see 2.4.3).
Visit (SF) Dataset: The Visit Dataset reports services provided to a patient in a 24-hour period (see 2.4.1).
Event (SE) Dataset: The Event Dataset provides information about individual outpatient encounters (see 2.4.2).
Medical SAS® Outpatient Datasets/ Inpatient Encounters Dataset
7 VIReC Research User Guide: Fiscal Year 2014 VHA Medical SAS Outpatient Datasets and Inpatient Encounters Dataset
Two SAS datasets, Visit (SAS SF dataset) and Event (SAS SE dataset), contain records for ambulatory care (outpatient) encounters. An additional dataset, Inpatient Encounters (SAS IE dataset), contains records for billable services (primarily professional services) received by patients during inpatient stays. Because inpatient encounter services, like outpatient services, are captured through the VistA Patient Care IE software and extracted to the NPCD, the IE file data have the same structure and share most variable fields with the Visit and Event Datasets. For this reason, we include information about the IE Dataset in this research user guide. More information about VHA policy regarding patient care data capture, including required data elements, is available in VHA Directive 2009-002, Patient Care Data Capture [6].
8 VIReC Research User Guide: Fiscal Year 2014 VHA Medical SAS Outpatient Datasets and Inpatient Encounters Dataset
2.2 Data Access
The Medical SAS Outpatient Datasets are available to users who have appropriate authorization. The VHA Data Portal provides information on the request process for Medical SAS Outpatient Datasets and Inpatient Encounters Dataset, links to data-access forms, and instructions on requesting access. See the “Data Access Overview” Web page [7] of the VHA Data Portal Intranet Website. Tutorials on the VIReC Intranet Website provide an introductory guide to accessing and using data on the AITC mainframe. See “VIReC Tutorials” [8].
9 VIReC Research User Guide: Fiscal Year 2014 VHA Medical SAS Outpatient Datasets and Inpatient Encounters Dataset
2.3 Dataset Assembly and Updates
2.3.1 VistA File Transmission
Facilities transmit VistA data via HL7 to AITC nightly and are required to transfer records to AITC by the 7th day after the date of each encounter (VHA Directive 2011-025, Closeout of Veterans Health Administration Corporate Patient Data Files Including Quarterly Inpatient Census [9]). The VistA data are loaded into the NPCD. The NPCD rejects data that fail quality edits and local VistA users must correct these data prior to retransmission to AITC.
2.3.2 Medical SAS Dataset Construction, Updates, and Fiscal Year Closeout
AITC staff members construct the Medical SAS Datasets from NPCD data extracts. Within a fiscal year, the SAS Datasets are updated every 2 weeks with queued data from NPCD. The data in the Medical SAS Datasets change throughout the fiscal year as the transmitting facilities edit and update their data and add record entries to the NPCD. AITC staff members create fiscal year SAS Datasets (MDPPRD.MDP.SAS.XXyy), where XX identifies the Outpatient dataset and yy are the last two digits for the desired fiscal year. Most research users of the Medical SAS Datasets use the fiscal year data files because they contain the most accurate and complete data and do not change after the NPCD fiscal year closeout each year in mid-October.
2.3.3 Revised Fiscal Year Datasets
NDS creates a new set of “revised” Medical SAS Datasets each quarter that incorporate updates received after the annual dataset closeout. These revised SAS datasets can accept updates for approximately 2 years after the regular closeout period. This practice, initiated with the FY1997 datasets, allows the capture of data that had traditionally been lost due to late submission after closeout. The names of the “revised” datasets include the word “REVISED,” such as MDPPRD.MDP.SAS.REVISED.SF12.

2.4 Data File Descriptions and Relations
The Medical SAS Outpatient Datasets contain data on VHA care provided in medical center outpatient clinics and community-based outpatient centers, as well as in the home-based primary care program and through care coordination (telemedicine and telehealth) services.
2.4.1 Visit (SF) Dataset
The Visit Dataset has data on services provided to patients in a 24-hour period. Each Visit file record contains information about health services provided to a patient at one facility on one date and can include data from as many as 15 separate encounters. Although the Visit Dataset contains fewer details about each encounter than the Event Dataset, it has more demographic information, such as patient religion and income (for some Veterans). Visit Datasets are available for FY1980–FY2014.
2.4.2 Event (SE) Dataset
The Event Dataset provides information about individual outpatient encounters. It contains one record for each encounter, defined as a professional contact between a patient and a practitioner vested with responsibility for diagnosing, evaluating, and treating the patient’s condition (see VHA Directive 2009-002, Patient Care Data Capture [6], for additional information about what services constitute an encounter). The Event Dataset contains more detailed information about each encounter than the Visit Dataset, including the clinic stop (clinical group providing the service), services provided (including up to 20 Current Procedural Terminology [CPT] codes), and provider(s). Event Datasets are available for FY1997–FY2014.
2.4.3 Inpatient Encounters (IE) Dataset
The IE Dataset provides information about professional services received by patients during an inpatient stay. These services include inpatient appointments in outpatient clinics, inpatient billable professional services, and inpatient mental health services, whether billable or not (VHA Directive 2009-002, Patient Care Data Capture [6]). Billable services are those for which the VHA bills the Veteran for a copayment or, if the patient has private insurance coverage, the insurance company for medical services provided. Similar to the Event Dataset, the IE Dataset contains one record per encounter or professional service. Therefore, many IE records may be generated during one inpatient stay. Each record in the IE dataset includes a maximum of 10 provider type codes, 10 healthcare provider identification codes, and 20 CPT codes. Inpatient Encounters Datasets are available for FY2005–FY2014.
More information about VA inpatient data is available in the VIReC Research User Guide: FY2014 VHA Medical SAS Inpatient Datasets [10].

38 VIReC Research User Guide: Fiscal Year 2014 VHA Medical SAS Outpatient Datasets and Inpatient Encounters Dataset
Variable Name: COMBAT
Definition: Combat after November 11, 1998, Veteran eligibility indicator Remarks: COMBAT indicates whether a Veteran was a “combat Veteran” during
his/her time in the service, as defined in Section 1710(e)(1)(D) of Title 38, United States Code — Veterans’ Benefits [21]:
A veteran who served on active duty in a theater of combat operations (as determined by the Secretary in consultation with the Secretary of Defense) during a period of war after the Persian Gulf War, or in combat against a hostile force during a period of hostilities (as defined in Section 1712A(a)(2)(B) of this title) after November 11, 1998... (p. 195).
In 2002, Congress mandated that all combat Veterans were eligible for up to two years of medical care from the VA immediately after they are discharged from their service. There is no co-pay or means test required, nor is proof needed that any illness is related to military service. The initializing directive, VHA Directive 2002-049: Combat Veterans Are Eligible For Medical Services For 2-Years After Separation From Military Service Notwithstanding Lack Of Evidence For Service Connection [22], is now obsolete. However, the National Defense Authorization Act of 2008 [23] extended the above benefits. On or after January 28, 2008, a new combat Veteran has 5-years to enroll in the VA health care system after discharge with an eligibility of Priority Group (PG) 6 or higher. Earlier enrollees whose priority was lowered from PG 6 due to the former 2-year eligibility limitation are to be placed back in PG 6 for 5 years from their discharge date. Combat Veterans discharged before January 28, 2008, have 3-years to enroll in VA’s health care system. The 3-year period of enhanced eligibility began on January 28, 2008, and expires on January 27, 2011. Additional details may be found on the VA Health Benefits Website [24] and in VHA Directive 2008-054: Combat Veterans Health Care Benefits and Copay Exemption Post-Discharge From Military Services [25].

Variable Name: COMBAT_DT
Definition: Last day of patient combat eligibility Remarks: In general, combat Veterans identified by COMBAT (combat Veteran
eligibility indicator) that were discharged from active service on or before January 28, 2003, have 5-years from their discharge date to enroll in VA healthcare and with an assignment of Priority Group 6 for up to five years of free medical care, services and treatment, regardless of insufficient medical evidence to conclude that the condition is attributable to military service. COMBAT_DT indicates the date that this eligibility expires. If COMBAT is missing or equals “0”, this variable is set to missing. The variable has been populated since June 10, 2004.
The benefits reported above were also extended to apply for combat Veterans discharged after November 11, 1998.

Variable Name: CPT1-CPT20
Definition: Services and procedures performed by a provider recorded in Current Procedural Terminology (CPT–4) ambulatory procedure codes
Remarks: These codes refer to descriptive terms for reporting medical services and
procedures performed by a provider for medical, surgical, and diagnostic procedures. In FY2005, five additional fields were added to make total of 20 CPT codes available in the Event and Inpatient Encounters datasets.
VIReC empirically verified that most of the entries from all CPT1-CPT20
columns from the FY2014 Event Dataset were Level I Codes (CPTs). Level II / National Codes (HCPCS) were also present in the CPT1-CPT20 fields. The remaining entries were either CPT Category II performance measures (four digits with an appended “F”), or CPT Category III emerging technologies (four digits with an appended “T”).

Variable Name: CPT1MODA-CPT20MODC
Definition: Modifiers for Current Procedural Terminology (CPT-4) ambulatory procedure codes
Remarks: The new codes refer to modifying descriptive terms for reporting medical
services and procedures performed by a provider for medical, surgical, and diagnostic procedures. There is a total of 60 variables, allowing three modifiers (A, B, C) for each of the potential 20 procedure codes (CPT1-CPT20) with each number ending with a letter (A-C), e.g. CPT1MODA- CPT20MODC.
The table lists both CPT Modifiers and HCPS Modifiers. A two-digit
string identifies the CPT Modifiers, while the HCPCS Modifier keys are identified by two letter characters or a character with a digit. According to “Attachment A - CPT Modifiers,” of the VHA Coding Guidelines, V11.0 [27], CPT modifiers are used to:
(1) provide additional information regarding the anatomic site of the procedure;
(2) eliminate an appearance of duplicate billing; or (3) eliminate the appearance of unbundling.
HCPCS modifiers are required to add specificity to the reporting of
procedures on eyelids, fingers, toes, and arteries [28]. Additional details are available on the Health Information Management

Variable Name: ENCOUNTER_ID
Definition: Unique VHA encounter identification number Remarks: Beginning in FY2003, each event or encounter in the Event Dataset is
uniquely identified by an ENCOUNTER_ID. Previously, SCRSSN (scrambled Social Security Number), VIZDAY (date of the outpatient health care encounter), STA5A (substation identifier), and CL (primary stop code) were used as the record identifier, but this combination does not uniquely define a particular outpatient visit, as a patient may visit a particular clinic at a given site two or more times on a given day. An example of a typical ENCOUNTER_ID is “G6V4-HUN”. Use this variable to link the Event Dataset to the Health Economics Resource Center (HERC) Outpatient Average Cost File [31]. For example, see the Proc Contents for Outpatient Average Cost Data FY13 available on the HERC Website [32].

Variable Name: ENCSHADIND
Definition: Indicates if the Veteran’s encounter was related to Project 112/SHAD (Shipboard Hazard and Defense) exposure
Remarks: The Encounter SHAD Indicator was added in FY2009. The SHAD
acronym refers to Project ‘112/SHAD’. Variable ENCSHADIND parallels the DISSHADIND variable in the inpatient files. In FY2007 & FY2008, DISSHADIND was labeled as ‘DISCHARGE SHAD INDICATOR’. In FY2009, DISSHADIND’s label was also changed to ‘ENCOUNTER SHAD INDICATOR’. A Veteran’s participation in Project‘112/SHAD’ may allow the Veteran to acquire a priority enrollment category, and waive the cost for medical services possibly related to their participation in this project. For more detailed information see, VHA Directive 2009-047: Provision of Health Care Services To Veterans Involved in Project 112-Shipboard Hazard and Defense (SHAD) Testing [33].

Variable Name: ETHNIC
Definition: Ethnicity with collection method Remarks: Beginning with FY2004, the VHA Medical SAS Outpatient Datasets
include a variable that identifies the Hispanic ethnicity of the patient collected in VistA in response to the U.S. Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) revision of Statistical Policy Directive No. 15: Race and Ethnic Standards for Federal Statistics and Administrative Reporting [34]. The ETHNIC variable is coded to indicate ethnicity as well as the means of data collection (e.g., Hispanic or Latino-Observer; non-Hispanic or Latino-Observer), and can assume the values shown in Section 3.3, Additional Values and Descriptions for Select Variables. Summarized, the two character values contain "D" (Declined to Answer), "H" (Hispanic or Latino), "N" (Not Hispanic or Latino), or "U" (Unknown by Patient) in the first column to indicate ethnicity and "" (Missing), with "O" (Observer), "P" (Proxy), "S" (Self Identification), or "U" (Unknown) in the second position to describe the ethnic identification source.
Note: Directive No. 15 is no longer available. The “Standards for the Classification of Federal Data on Race and Ethnicity” Web page on the White House Website [35] provides the text of Directive 15 in the Appendix as well as background information on revisions to this document.

Variable Name: HOMLESS
Definition: Indicates the homeless status of the Veteran Remarks: The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
estimates that 49,933 Veterans are homeless on any given night. Homeless Veterans are typically male (92%); the majority are single. Mental illness, alcohol and/or substance abuse, or co-occurring disorders are prevalent among homeless Veterans. Consequently, many of the VA-sponsored programs provide treatment, counseling, and outreach. For additional background information please see the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans Website [37].
The VistA file, from which the data for the variable HOMLESS (Social Work Case (650) file, was derived, was inactivated in FY2002 as Social Work Services stopped using its underlying software, the Social Work Information Management Software (SWIMS). SWIMS is no longer in use throughout the VA. Prior to FY2002, data from SWIMS were transmitted to AITC; Social workers were notified about the homeless Veteran’s need for patient assessment. It is unclear how these data have been populated since FY2002.
Given the uncertain method for populating the HOMLESS variable, VIReC recommends inspecting the ICD-9-CM diagnoses (DXLSF, DXF2-DXF10) for the homeless diagnosis V60.0 (recorded as ‘V600’ in the dataset, and representing Lack of Housing or Homeless Person) and/or the stop codes (CL, CLC) for stop code 529 [HCHV/HMI – Health Care for Homeless Veterans / Homeless Mentally Ill]. An agreement between the HOMLESS indicator, e.g., HOMLESS=1, and the corresponding presence of the V60.0 diagnosis or 529 stop code supports the HOMLESS indication. Additional clinical stops may also be indicative of homelessness.

Variable Name: MEANS
Definition: Means Test Indicator code Remarks: The Means Test Indicator is used in determining a patient's eligibility to receive care.
The assigned value, which reflects Veteran status and percent service-connected eligibility, indicates the necessity of a Means Test, VA’s annual financial assessment. A Means Test Indicator must be entered for all VA patients who were admitted on and after July 1, 1986. The source documents for Means Test information are VA Form 10-10EZ: Application for Health Benefits and VA Form 10-10EZR: Update Your Information, which are available on the VA Website [39,40]. Fact Sheet IB 10-497: Geographic Means Test (GMT) Pension and Thresholds [41] also provides additional information. Veterans classified as having 10 percent or more service-connected disability, former POWs, WWI Veterans, and Veterans without service-connected disability who are receiving a VA pension are eligible for mandatory care. They are not required to complete a Means Test. All other Veteran patients (namely, the non-service connected Veterans) are required to complete an annual Means Test to determine their financial status against the VA thresholds that are established January 1of each year. In general, Veterans with household income below the current year’s applicable Means Test threshold are considered Category A. Those with household income above the threshold are considered Category C. Beginning in FY2003, patient records without a valid MEANS Test are coded with a “U” value. The print format was changed from $MEANSL. to $MEANSG. in FY2003 to reflect these changes. Effective March 24, 2014, most Veterans will no longer be required to complete a Means Test. Instead, VA will receive income information from the Internal Revenue Service and Social Security Administration, and will contact the Veterans only if the information received indicates a change in their VA health benefits may be appropriate; however, Veterans who are eligible for enrollment only because their income is below an established threshold will be required to complete a means test when applying for VA health care enrollment. For additionaly information regarding this change, see Fact Sheet IB 10-603: Elimination of Annual Means Test [42]. MEANS can assume values shown in Section 3.3, Additional Values and Descriptions for Select Variables. See also, VHA Handbook 1907.04: Patient Treatment File (PTF) Coding Instructions pages 13 and 14 [43].

Variable Name: POS
Definition: Military period in which the Veteran served Remarks: This variable is called “category of beneficiary” in the coding instructions
and is related to the authority under which a patient is eligible for care. This variable is a mixture of the branch of service (Army, Navy, etc.) for patients currently on active duty, the period of service (Spanish-American War to Desert Storm) for Veterans, and other codes (e.g., Workers’ Compensation, emergency, CHAMPUS, etc.), which are largely for non-Veterans. If a Veteran has more than one period of service, the latest wartime period of service is coded, unless the patient is service-connected for a condition incurred in an earlier period.
A Technical Report published by the Health Economics Resource Center (HERC) determined that values A-V & 9 signify non-Veteran status while values 0-8 and W-Z indicate Veteran status [45]. HERC discovered that in many cases, multiple records pertaining to a single individual fluctuate between value “Other or None” and other values. Consequently, HERC recommends that researchers concerned about the reliability of the Period of Service variable as an indicator of non-Veteran should eliminate POS from their analysis or eliminate all records that contain a POS value of 9 (“Other or None”) [45].
POS can assume the values found in Section 3.3, Additional Values and Descriptions for Select Variables.

This taxonomy is currently overseen by the National Uniform Claim Committee (NUCC) for the purpose of codifying providers for billing purposes (See VHA Directive 2012-003: Person Class File Taxonomy [46]). The Person Class Taxonomy spreadsheet [47] on the National Patient Care Database (NPCD) Intranet Website provides the latest provider taxonomy codes, including practitioner type, classification, and specialization. Providers are not extracted in any particular order, which means that PROV1 is not necessarily the primary provider.
Beginning with FY2003, the provider type in the VHA Medical SAS Event Dataset is coded in character values. The associated print format is also changed to $PERCLS. from XXPROV. PROV1-PROV10 can assume the values shown in Section 3.3, Additional Values and Descriptions for Select Variables.

Variable Name: PROVID1-PROVID10
Definition: 1st – 10th healthcare provider identification codes associated with this event
Remarks: PROVIDn is a concatenation of the 3-digit parent station identifier
variable (STA3N) and the provider ID code (PROVID1-PROVID10), now referred to as the Internal Entry Number (IEN). The IEN is a computer-generated number for the provider identification.
Provider ID is assigned arbitrarily at the local level, thereby increasing the possibility of one provider having multiple provider IDs depending on the number of stations with which he/she may be associated. Consequently, it is difficult to associate a unique provider or specialist with a provider ID at the national level.
Health Informatics and Data created the National Health Care Practitioner Database (NHCPD) which is part of the National Medical Information System. The structure is based on the National Provider Identifier system created by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to support HIPAA. The NHCPD populates the provider first, middle, and last names, Social Security Number, employing VAMC, and provider identification. A SAS dataset modeled after this provider database is housed at the AITC and is named the Outpatient Providers file, see the National Data Systems (NDS) “NDS Report: Austin Mainframe SAS Dataset FY2013 Proc Contents” Intranet Web page [48].
Investigator Advisory: Please contact the VIReC HelpDesk at (708) 202-2413 if you are using provider IDs from any of the following stations Ann Arbor (#506), Tampa (#673), Asheville (#637) for an update on this field’s revision.

Variable Name: PSEUDO
Definition: Pseudo-SSN indicator Remarks: This variable indicates if the patient’s Social Security Number (SSN) is
recorded as a pseudo-SSN created using numeric equivalents of the patient’s initials and birth date. A pseudo-SSN is a temporary identification when the patient has no SSN or the patient’s true SSN cannot be determined. The pseudo-SSN will be retained as a permanent identification number when a patient refuses to apply for a Social Security Number or death occurs before a SSN application can be made.
Note that this variable is named PSEUD in the Inpatient Main SAS datasets.

Definition: Race or national origin Remarks: Reporting of race or ethnicity was most frequently extracted from clinical
documentation (e.g., discharge summary) and/or observation of administrative staff before FY2004. Beginning with FY2004, seven new race variables (RACE1-RACE7) are collected from VistA and populated in the Outpatient SAS datasets. RACE is maintained to keep the file structure consistent over time. Note that RACE continues to be populated in the Outpatient SAS Datasets for FY2004 and later (i.e., it is extracted from the NPCD), even though VHA facilities no longer enter the information for this field into their local VistA system. The VIReC Technical Report: VA Race Data Quality [49] provides recommendations and resources on using race data.

Definition: Race with collection method Remarks: Beginning with FY2004, the VHA Medical SAS Outpatient Datasets
contain seven new variables containing up to seven new race values collected in VistA in response to the U.S. Office of Management and Budget’s revision of OMB Statistical Policy Directive No. 15, Race and Ethnic Standards for Federal Statistics and Administrative Reporting [34]. These new variables are coded to indicate the means of data collection (e.g., White-Self-identified, White-Observer, and White-Proxy). RACE1-RACE7 can assume the values shown in Section 3.3, Additional Values and Descriptions for Select Variables. The VIReC Technical Report: VA Race Data Quality [49] provides recommendations and resources on using race data.
VIReC continues to investigate those instances where a race variable has the value “Unknown – Unknown by Patient”. This accounts for less than 1% of all responses.

Variable Name: RAD
Definition: Exposure to ionizing radiation through nuclear testing (US [surface or underground]), facilities, or in Japan
Remarks: This variable was added to the dataset in July of FY1982. It is self-
reported and is not recorded for non-Veterans or for those Veterans in service prior to WWII. See also VHA Handbook 1301.01: Ionizing Radiation Registry Program Procedures [44] and variable NTRENC for for information on the Ionizing Radiation Registry for more specific treatment information.
Investigator Advisiory: RAD values in the Event dataset have an appreciable number of patients with both values indicating that ionizing radiation exposures occurred, and no exposure occurred, between FY1999–FY2005. The initial RADL. format may have contributed to the Event file inconsistencies. The exposure values in the Visit file are more consistent in reporting unique exposures, and there is a significant overlap between the Event and Visit patients. VIReC recommends using the Visit instead of the Event dataset for assessing radiation exposure. Note that the Visit and Event Datasets are different: the print format RADL. was attached to RAD in the Event Datasets for FY1997–FY2003. The format was changed to XXYN. in FY2004 for the Event dataset.
