High-Risk Veteran Initiative

Sponsor: VA Office of Research and Development

Summary

Veterans at high-risk for hospitalization, including those with complex care needs, represent a large population of VHA patients who often do not receive evidence-based primary care practices that would help them avoid the hospital and improve their health. The high-RIsk VETerans (RIVET) Program will implement evidence-based practices that can support VHA Primary Care teams to deliver more comprehensive and patient-centered care, better strategies to manage medications, and avoid unnecessary hospitalizations. The RIVET Program is designed to find the most effective approaches to increasing use of evidence-based practices for high-risk Veterans in primary care, provide rapid data feedback to VHA on high-risk patient care, build capacity for the implementation of evidence-based practices, and train future leaders in high-risk Veteran care.
