The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) provides nationwide access, lifetime coverage, and an integrated care structure to its enrollees. Those key aspects of VA healthcare-together with data contained in VA's electronic information systems supporting over eight million veterans-provide unique opportunities to study processes, outcomes, and costs of care. Recently, for example, VA data have been used to study outcomes associated with acute postoperative inpatient rehabilitation and care in specialized rehabilitation bed units after lower-limb amputation [1-2], medication adherence and relapse among patients discharged from a VA posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) treatment program [3], the provision and costs of assistive technology devices to veterans after stroke [4], and use of mental health services by veterans disabled by auditory disorders [5].
