退伍军人保健系统内的资源分配部分是基于一个地区的退伍军人人数加上预计将进入该地区的退伍军人人数。本文考察了地理流动性作为影响美国老年退伍军人使用退伍军人医疗服务的一个因素的相对重要性。使用各种二次数据来源，我们发现，州退伍军人医疗服务入院率的变化主要是由居住在该州的非流动退伍军人人口的特征和迁移到该州的退伍军人的特征更好地解释的，而不仅仅是他们的人数。卫生保健需求预测应考虑到这些调查结果。
Resource allocations within the VA health care system are based in part on the number of veterans in an area plus the number of veterans expected to move into that area. This paper examines the relative importance of geographic mobility as a factor affecting the use of VA health services by the older veteran population in the U.S. Using a variety of secondary data sources, we found that the variation in state VA health service admission rates is better explained primarily by the characteristics of the resident nonmobile veteran population and the characteristics of veterans migrating to the state, not just by their numbers. Health care demand projections should take these findings into account.
