The Review of Veterans’ Care Needs is an important policy and research body, established in 1996, that supports the Department's efforts to design programs and services that are driven by client need rather than program requirements, improving our ability to make evidence-based decisions. Through a series of research tools, including a literature review, focus groups with clients, their care givers and a number of health providers, and analysis of health services offered by the community and other levels of government in each province, our Review of Veterans’ Care Needs project team has been able to identify changes in the needs of aging veterans, gaps in benefits and services and VAC can best add value to their care.  1, record 2, English, - Review%20of%20Veterans%26rsquo%3B%20Care%20Needs

Le groupe chargé de l'Examen des besoins en soins de santé des anciens combattants (EBSSAC) est un important organisme de décision et de recherche établi en 1996. Il soutient les efforts que déploie le ministère pour créer des programmes et des services axés sur les besoins des clients et non sur les programmes, et augmente ainsi notre capacité à prendre des décisions fondées sur des données. Grâce à une variété d'outils de recherche, dont l'examen de documents de référence, des groupes de discussion avec les clients, leurs dispensateurs de soins et des fournisseurs de services, de même que l'analyse des services de santé qu'offrent la collectivité et les différents paliers de gouvernement dans chaque province, le groupe de l'EBSSAC peut relever les changements dans les besoins des anciens combattants avançant en âge et les lacunes dans les prestations et les services, tout en déterminant le meilleur moyen de donner une valeur ajoutée aux soins fournis par ACC.  1, record 2, French, - Examen%20des%20besoins%20en%20soins%20de%20sant%C3%A9%20des%20anciens%20combattants

Preferred Provider Organizations(PPOs) offer purchasers of care several benefits, including expenditure reduction, utilization control, improved quality of care, and efficient management. Although Medicare could benefit from these outcomes, the program lags behind the private sector in PPO development. The Health Care Financing Administration(HCFA) must address several policy issues and constraints as it develops PPOs for Medicare beneficiaries. The agency must identify services and providers to include in the PPO, develop program sponsorship and administration methods, create viable provider and beneficiary incentives to participate, identify sources of PPO cost savings, and examine the role of medigap insurance policies in PPO development.  2, record 3, English, - preferred%20provider%20organization
