VA Guide to Long Term Care Programs and Services

VIReC Notes on Historical Status

 

Frances Weaver, PhD
June 2001

The "VA LTC Resource Guide" documentation contains descriptive information on key VHA Long Term Care databases updated through 1997. The following notes describe the limitations of using the "LTC" and where current information, if any, may be found. Some more recent information on LTC data is available in the VIReC Insights --- LONG TERM CARE - "An Overview of VA Long-Term Care Database and Information Resources."  Vol. 1, No.4. PDF file .

Several changes are in process in VA LTC services and in the data being collected. As this information becomes available, it will be disseminated through VIReC Data Alerts and additional Insights documents. Please note that the original documentation remains unaltered. As such, certain external links may no be longer valid. Navigational links within the document remain operational.
