本文总结的数据集包括自2014年1月以来美国退伍军人在求医时经历的3800多万次预约等待时间。我们的数据包括退伍军人健康管理局(VHA)设施和社区医疗中心，等待时间按初级/专科护理类型分层。确定的等待时间数据在转诊级别、VHA设施级别和患者的3位邮政编码级别报告。截至撰写本文时，还没有其他美国医疗保健系统公开他们的等待时间。因此，我们的数据代表了VHA和社区提供者及时获得患者护理的最大、国家和最具代表性的衡量标准。研究人员可以使用这些数据集来确定预约等待时间的纵向和横向变化，对改善获得护理的政策和干预措施进行研究，并将细粒度的等待时间测量纳入他们的分析。
The datasets summarized in this article include more than 38 million appointment wait times that U.S. military veterans experienced when seeking medical care since January 2014. Our data include both within Veterans Health Administration (VHA) facilities and community medical centers, and wait times are stratified by primary/specialty care type. Deidentified wait time data are reported at the referral-level, at the VHA facility-level, and at the patient's 3-digit ZIP code-level. As of this writing, no other U.S. health care system has made their wait times publicly available. Our data thus represent the largest, national, and most representative measures of timely access to care for patients of both VHA and community providers. Researchers may use these datasets to identify variations in appointment wait times both longitudinally and cross-sectionally, conduct research on policies and interventions to improve access to care, and to incorporate fine-grained measures of wait times into their analyses.
