SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

information on Veteran mental health
outcomes is crucial to guide resource
allocation and programmatic decisions
for mental health programs and to
intervene effectively to prevent
individual adverse outcomes such as
suicide, overdose deaths, and
morbidities associated with mental
illness and to support recovery-oriented
treatment designed to improve
functioning and reduce symptoms. The
data will allow VA policy makers to
reliably track national performance on a
quarterly basis and to track VISN
performance on a yearly basis. These
data will reveal trends in outcomes over
time and will help in pinpointing
programs that are doing well in terms of
patient outcomes, so that other
programs can emulate their practices, as
well as identifying those programs that
are performing poorly so that steps can
be taken to improve them. Results of the
survey will be reported to Congress and
will influence decisions on funding.
The VOA will thus provide Veterans
who are experiencing mental health
problems with a direct voice in program
evaluation and improvement. Summary
data on performance also will be
available on a public website, as
mandated by the NDAA, to provide
Veterans and their families with
additional information for purposes of
managing their mental health treatment
and U.S. citizens with information
regarding VA’s mental health programs
and Veterans satisfaction with their
care.
