SYNOPSIS Starting in 1995, the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) transformed a bureaucratic healthcare system into a performance-driven, patient-focused integrated healthcare network. The VHA's experience may offer lessons for private and public sector providers as the U.S. explores alternative healthcare delivery systems and payment methods. Similar patient-focused integrated systems are one of the hallmarks of the latest U.S. attempt to improve the quality and efficiency of healthcare delivery. The use of performance incentives to promote cooperation and innovation is also central to both the VHA and the U.S. reform. This study reviews the VHA's experience with an eye to identifying issues and potential research avenues for accounting researchers interested in the role of accounting information for control, coordination, and organizational change.

The Impact

The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) is the largest integrated health system in the U.S. with 7.9 million U.S. veterans enrolled.  Both the number of veterans seeking VHA health services and the cost of delivering such services continue to rise as a result of myriad factors. Kidder examines VHA funding outcomes over the past 10 years in light of the participation of veterans' service organizations (VSOs) in committee hearings; the reliance of lawmakers upon The Independent Budget (IB); and the impact of new performance-based management initiatives on budget outcomes.  Her article highlights the political nature of the VHA budget and the influential role of VSOs in funding outcomes.

Lynch syndrome (LS) is the most common hereditary colorectal cancer (CRC) syndrome. Diagnosis of LS has important clinical implications for CRC patients and their family members. LS screening in tumor tissue is possible, and screen-positive cases are referred for diagnostic testing. This case study describes how implementation science informed a population-based LS screening program in the Veterans Health Administration (VHA), the largest integrated health care delivery system in the United States. Successful implementation strategies relied on the organizational structures and processes characteristic of integrated health care systems, including data warehousing methods that leverage the electronic health record, case management, and centralized technical assistance. Challenges to sustainability of the population-based program include low prevalence of LS among veterans, limited expertise, organizational changes, and the rapidly evolving field of precision oncology. LS screening is an exemplar case study for implementation science in integrated health care delivery systems.
