The Center for Policy Evaluation (CPE) will conduct rigorous evaluations supporting the implementation of evidence-based policies and programs in the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). We will work with operational partners to conduct evaluations, using both existing administrative data and prospective designs, to provide insights into causal mechanisms. CPE will be organized around 3 core aims (Methods Core, Learning and Translation Core, Operations Core). The Center’s goals are rooted in the belief that VA is a learning health care system. Creating a learning health care system requires objective assessments that provide insights into causal mechanisms and local context. Sometimes operational leaders want answers to questions for which neither a randomized control trial nor a natural experiment can be found. These situations require innovative thinking about study design and expert judgment about the pros and cons of alternative methods. CPE investigators have significant experience in these skills; we have a history of being highly collaborative and innovative in combining qualitative and quantitative methods across a wide range of VA priority areas. CPE represents 30 investigators with expertise in community care, access, virtual care, long term, home-based and palliative care, disparities and social determinants of health (SDoH), delayed care from COVID, suicide and mental health, women's health, employment and health, burnout and staffing, exposures during deployment and spinal cord injuries, homelessness, EHR modernization, primary care, and complex patients. In year 1, we have proposed two evaluations and building a core data resource. The first evaluation examines the link between VBA disability benefits and mental health. This project will provide VA with evidence to guide VBA and VHA policy when it comes to benefits and mental health. This project will be led by Dr. Kritee Gujral with assistance from Drs. Liam Rose and Todd Wagner. The operational partners include OMHSP, ORH and OEI. The second evaluation examines Health Connect, a modernization of the Clinical Contact Centers, to streamline access to care and maximize first- contact resolution. This evaluation will assess the effectiveness of the Health Connect program in improving Veteran access to timely, quality care compared to care as usual prior to implementation. This project will help VA improve access and encourage greater reliance on VA for services. Drs. Diem Tran, Liam Rose, Jaqueline Ferguson, and Anita Vashi will lead this project from CPE. The primary partner is IVC and a secondary partner is the OCC. In year one we will also create core data resources to improve the quality and speed of subsequent evaluations. CPE has a long history of working with VA operational partners including the Office of Integrated Veterans Care, Office of Mental Health and Suicide Prevention, Office of Connected Care, and Office of Primary Care, just to name a few. CPE will be led by Todd Wagner, PhD, David Chan, MD, PhD, and Anita Vashi, MD, MHS, multiple PIs with Dr. Wagner serving as the corresponding PI. Drs. Wagner, Chan and Vashi are all investigators at the Palo Alto Center for Innovation to Implementation (Ci2i). The leadership team has unparalleled experience in conducting rigorous health services and health economic research with VA operational groups. Supporting the leadership team are 27 other VA investigators with diverse content expertise and strong connections across a range of departments and centers at Stanford University.

政策评估中心(CPE)将进行严格的评估，支持 美国退伍军人事务部循证政策和方案的实施 事务(VA)。我们将与业务合作伙伴合作进行评估，利用现有的 行政数据和前瞻性设计，以提供对因果机制的洞察。CPE 将围绕3个核心目标(方法核心、学习和翻译核心、 运营核心)。该中心的目标植根于退伍军人管理局是一种学习型医疗保健的信念 系统。创建学习型医疗保健系统需要客观的评估，以提供 对因果机制和当地背景的洞察。有时运营领导想要 对随机对照试验和自然实验都无法回答的问题的回答 被找到。这些情况需要对研究设计和专家判断进行创新思维 关于替代方法的利弊。CPE调查人员有丰富的经验 在这些技能方面，我们有着高度合作和创新的历史 在广泛的退伍军人事务部优先领域采用定性和定量方法。CPE代表 30名在社区护理、访问、虚拟护理、长期居家护理方面具有专业知识的调查人员 和姑息治疗、差异和健康的社会决定因素(SDoH)，延迟治疗 COVID、自杀和精神健康、妇女健康、就业和健康、职业倦怠和 人员配备、部署期间的暴露和脊髓损伤、无家可归、电子病历 现代化、初级保健和复杂的病人。在第一年，我们提出了两个 评估和建立核心数据资源。第一个评估考察了 VBA残疾津贴和心理健康。该项目将为退伍军人管理局提供指导证据 当涉及福利和心理健康时，VBA和VHA政策。该项目将由Dr。 题名/责任者：The Heaves of the First，and the Sirst，and，.运营合作伙伴 包括OMHSP、ORH和OEI。第二个评估检查Health Connect，即 临床联系中心的现代化，以简化获得医疗服务的途径，并最大限度地实现 联系解决方案。这项评估将评估健康连接计划的有效性 在改善退伍军人获得及时、高质量护理的机会方面，与之前的通常护理相比 实施。该项目将帮助退伍军人管理局改善获得机会，并鼓励更多地依赖退伍军人管理局 为了服务。Diem Tran博士、Liam Rose博士、Jaqueline Ferguson博士和Anita Vashi博士将领导这项工作 来自CPE的项目。主要合作伙伴是IVC，次要合作伙伴是OCC。在第一年 我们还将创建核心数据资源，以提高后续的质量和速度 评估。CPE与退伍军人管理局的业务合作伙伴，包括办事处，有着悠久的合作历史 退伍军人综合护理办公室，心理健康和自杀预防办公室， 互联医疗和初级保健办公室，仅举几例。CPE将由托德领导 Wagner，Phd，David Chan，MD，Phd，Anita Vashi，MD，MHS，与Wagner博士进行多次PI 作为相应的PI。瓦格纳、陈和瓦希博士都是帕洛研究所的调查人员 Alto创新到实施中心(Ci2i)。领导团队是无与伦比的 与退伍军人管理局进行严格的卫生服务和卫生经济研究的经验 作战小组。支持领导团队的还有其他27名退伍军人管理局调查人员，他们来自不同的 内容专业知识和跨多个部门和中心的强大联系，请访问 斯坦福大学。
