What
Is The Toolkit?
This toolkit is intended as
a starting point for new users of VA data.
- An introduction to VA data in general
describes the many types of data sources within the Veterans Health Administration
of particular relevance to VA research.
- Detailed information here focuses on the data most frequently used by
VA researchers. These are the basic inpatient and outpatient data from
VHA facilities that are stored at the Austin Information Technology Center (AITC formerly: CFD; formerly: AAC) and
available as SAS datasets. (SAS is a registered trademark of the SAS Institute,
Inc.) VIReC produces Research User
Guides as tools for users of these datasets.
