Public Health Relevance Statement
ANTICIPATED IMPACTS ON VETERAN'S HEALTHCARE -- VA spends millions annually on its External
Peer Review Program (EPRP) to maintain a valid, reliable, and useful clinical performance management
system; however, this goal depends on the EPRP's ability to accurately capture the phenomena it is
designed to assess. Understanding what factors influence facility performance trends is essential to
developing strategic, cost-effective, high-impact improvements to care quality. The proposed research
specifically examines two overlooked characteristics of EPRP performance measures that could
predispose facilities to an upward or downward performance trend. Products of the proposed research
could be of significant value to both information technology stakeholders (to help create more user
friendly electronic medical record features). and health care policy makers (to devise more effective ways
of performing the work that leads to high quality veteran care).

Publications
Publications are associated with projects, but cannot be identified with any particular year of the project or fiscal year of funding. This is due to the continuous and cumulative nature of knowledge generation across the life of a project and the sometimes long and variable publishing timeline. Similarly, for multi-component projects, publications are associated with the parent core project and not with individual sub-projects.
