Description
Marcia Mecca describes efforts to bring patient priorities care into veterans' primary care, in a solo piece from 2023. Veterans in the VA system are older, poorer, and sicker than patients outside it. Priorities care starts from what each older patient most wants from treatment, and it fits the VA's whole health push.
A small pilot found that patients in the program gained fewer new medicines. They also got more home and community services matched to their own goals. A two site randomized trial is now recruiting in VA primary care. Early interviews with staff flagged time pressure and follow up records as worries. The work tracks how a good idea survives real clinics.
