The ability of the Veterans Health Administration System to care for veterans with bladder cancer is influenced by the increased complexity of both veterans and the system's capacity to do so, which is determined by personnel and equipment allocation. Herein, we review the guidelines for bladder cancer management in the context of this population and highlight unique veteran characteristics that impact the delivery of bladder cancer care within the Veterans Health Administration System. There are opportunities for standardization and implementation, which can improve the quality of this care, and we summarize the questions for which coordinated research efforts may provide answers.
退伍军人健康管理局系统照顾膀胱癌退伍军人的能力受到退伍军人人数增加以及系统人员和设备配置决定的处理能力增加这两者的复杂性影响。在此,我们根据这一人群审查膀胱癌管理指南,并强调影响退伍军人健康管理局系统内膀胱癌护理提供的退伍军人独特特征。存在标准化和实施机会,这可以提高此类护理的质量,我们总结了可能需要协调研究工作来提供答案的问题。
