- Abstract
The article reports that the relevancy of the Veteran's Health Administration's (VA) strategy to improve access to care is targeted in the study, and the authors specifically review the effectiveness of the community-based outpatient clinics (CBOCs). They point out that travel time has historically been tied to veterans' utilization of the VA, and the large service areas of VA medical centers have contributed to underutilization of these facilities. As a means of improving access to healthcare services, the VA has focused its efforts on expanding the number of these community-based clinics.
