Book excerpt: In 2008, the VA provided health care to over 281,000 women veterans, a fast growing subgroup of veterans. Women veterans seeking VA health care need access to an array of services, and Congress has raised concerns about how well VA is prepared to meet the physical and mental health care needs of women. This report examined: (1) the on-site availability of health care services at VA facilities for women vets; (2) the extent to which VA facilities are following VA policies that apply to the delivery of health care to women vets; and (3) key challenges that VA facilities face in providing health care to women vets and how VA is addressing these challenges.

This book was released on 2013-06-05 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women Veterans are among the fastest growing groups of new VA health care users of the VA healthcare system, and currently reflect approximately eight percent of all U.S. Veterans. With Operation Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom (OEF/OIF), women comprise a larger percentage of the military (11.3 percent) than of prior military operations. As of fiscal year 2010, 51.3 percent of female OEF/OIF Veterans had enrolled in VA health care, in sharp contrast to women from previous eras (an estimated 11 percent). Of this group, 88 percent have used VA health care more than once. To better understand the needs of this rapidly growing group, women Veterans' health research has expanded as well. Two previous systematic reviews examined the literature on women Veterans' health and health care up to 2008. In this review, we specifically explored women Veterans' post-deployment health, with two main areas of concentration: 1) post-deployment effects on reproductive health for women Veterans, and 2) post-trauma sequelae among women Veterans from the OEF/OIF cohort. In response to a growing need to understand the effects of military service on health status, this report supplements our prior review by focusing directly on the reproductive and trauma effects on women in the military or Veterans who have been deployed. The goal is to broaden the knowledge of VA policy leaders and clinicians about post-deployment health issues for women. The Key Questions were: Key Question #1: What research has been published on the effects of deployment on postdeployment reproductive outcomes? We operationalized “reproductive effects” to encompass the following: fertility issues, birth defects, menstrual effects (e.g., change in cycles, loss of cycles), urinary tract infections, sexually transmitted infections, and reproductive cancers (e.g., cervical, ovarian, etc). Key Question #2: What research has been published on post-trauma sequelae in OEF/OIF women Veterans, including: mental health problems, suicide, cardiovascular disease, risky health behaviors (including: tobacco use, hazardous alcohol use, substance abuse, suicide, homicide, assaultive behavior, and eating disorders), and other post-trauma sequelae?

Book excerpt: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has made considerable progress in removing barriers that prevent women veterans from receiving care. For example, VA has increased its outreach to women veterans to inform them of their eligibility for health care services and designated women veteran coordinators to help women veterans access VA's health care system. VA has also improved the health care environment at many of its medical facilities, especially with respect to accommodating the privacy needs of women veterans. However, VA recognizes that more work needs to be done in these areas. In addition, in response to women veterans' concerns, VA has begun to assess its capacity to provide inpatient psychiatric care to women veterans. VA's efforts to stress women veterans' health care have significantly increased the availability and use of all services during the past three years. For example, gender-specific services--pap smears, mammograms, and reproductive health care--grew from more than 85,000 to more than 121,000 between 1994 and 1997. During the same period, the number of women veterans treated on an outpatient basis rose by about 32 percent, or 119,300.
