A VA Community Based Outpatient Clinic: Needs Assessment and Location Determination.

Abstract

For the past four years, the Veterans Health Administration (VHA), under the leadership of Undersecretary for Health, Kenneth W. Kizer, M.D., M.P.H., has been undergoing a dramatic and comprehensive process to realign its health care delivery system from a traditional acute care hospital system to an integrated delivery system that employs principles of managed care. One of the most important components of VHA's realignment is the initiative to implement a nationwide system of community based outpatient clinics (CBOC's) for the express purpose of improving the access to primary health care for America's veterans.
