Abstract
As part of the national effort to reform healthcare, the Department of Veterans Affairs is undergoing a major reassessment of its healthcare mission. As Veterans Affairs prepares to meet the challenges of the twenty-first century, one underlying issue of critical importance is which planning assumptions will be selected and employed. Will historical patterns of veterans' use be interpreted as indicators of the market demand for Veterans Affairs healthcare services, or will estimates of disease prevalence among veterans be used as indicators of future healthcare need? If Veterans Affairs is to continue as a critical component of the nation's healthcare delivery system, its selection of a planning basis will have major implications for tomorrow's healthcare system.
