The Veterans Health Administration is rolling out a Whole Health system of care as part of an enhanced focus on proactive, person-centered healthcare.
Our program evaluation seeks to characterize what Veterans use Whole Health services, for what diagnoses they are seeking Whole Health services, and to examine "high utilizers" of Whole Health services.
Data were collected on 174 Veterans using Whole Health services from December 2018 through March 2020 and consisted of chart review and self-report data.
Women were more likely than men Veterans to use individual only Whole Health services. High utilizers (the top 30% of the sample in Whole Health services used) were more likely to attend groups than the remainder of the sample.
Future work should examine the community-building aspects of Whole Health and ways to create group programming tailored to women Veterans.
退伍军人健康管理局正在推出一套全面健康护理系统，作为加强对主动、以患者为中心的医疗保健关注的一部分。
我们的项目评估旨在描述哪些退伍军人使用全面健康服务，他们寻求全面健康服务的诊断是什么，并检查全面健康服务的“高使用者”。
收集了2018年12月至2020年3月期间使用全面健康服务的174名退伍军人的数据，包括病历审查和自我报告数据。
女性退伍军人比男性退伍军人更有可能仅使用个人全面健康服务。高使用者（使用全面健康服务的样本中前30%）比样本的其余部分更有可能参加小组活动。
未来的工作应研究全面健康的社区建设方面，以及为女性退伍军人量身定制小组项目的方法。
