This article is intended to provide a basic framework for the reader in understanding the structure and products of the information management system that supports the functions of the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). It will identify the primary information resources management organizations in the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and briefly describe how they relate to each other; summarize the history, purpose, and contents of the major health care databases; and discuss future directions for VHA's information management efforts.
Modeling of medical resource requirements during military operations requires projections of disease and non-battle injury (DNBI) and wounded-in-action (WIA) rates. Historical data were extracted from unit diaries of infantry and support troops deployed during four previous combat engagements. A planning tool (FORECAS) was developed that uses the statistical distributions of DNBI and WIA incidence from previous operations to simulate injury and illness arrival rates under future scenarios. Output of the simulated data reflects the nuances of the empirical data.
