Abstract
Rural veterans are obtaining non‒Veterans Administration health care at an increasing rate, but information on what community services are accessed is lacking. A secondary analysis of surveys obtained from 6 previous studies conducted in acute care areas was scrutinized for military history and utilization patterns. Depending on age, multiple health care agencies were used. Acute care was relied upon frequently, most often due to pain. The Veterans Administration was infrequently visited. Clinician electronic documentation of military history, inquiry into use of other health care services, and involvement in research to monitor outcomes are suggested to facilitate identification of health needs specific to this population.
