Advancing Evidence-Based Care For Diabetes: Lessons From The Veterans Health Administration

Joel Kupersmith, Joseph Francis, Eve Kerr, Sarah Krein, Leonard Pogach, Robert M. Kolodner and Jonathan B. Perlin

The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) is a unique laboratory for using the electronic health record (EHR) to transform health care and accelerate discovery. This is particularly evident in the care of veterans with diabetes, who constitute a quarter of those served by the VHA. Although EHRs have enabled rapid learning, additional factors were necessary, including the lead participation of clinician-investigators, accountability through performance measurement, a delivery system focused on population health, and favorable economic externalities. "Off-the-shelf" technology is unlikely to generate similar benefits if these attributes are not in place.
