VA Research Wrap Up: New findings on tailored health care, paralyzed Veterans and cirrhosis

Researchers have made notable discoveries in veterans' health care. A study of over 15,000 women veterans found that those receiving care from specialized providers were more likely to remain in the system. The findings suggest that tailored care can have a significant impact on patient retention.

Women veterans seen by general practitioners had a higher rate of leaving care. Further information on these research findings is available from the VA's Office of Research and Development, which recently published details on this and other studies, including those on paralysis and liver disease.
