The article presents information about a study which compares the quality of care for patients in the veterans health administration and patients in a national sample in the question and answer form. The U.S. Veterans Health Administration (VHA) provides comprehensive health care to veterans through VHA-run medical centers. Since the early 1990s, VHA has worked to improve the quality of the health care it delivers. An important part of that effort has been a program that measures health care quality and holds administrators of VHA medical centers responsible for maintaining high-quality care at their institutions.
