Evaluating equity in a national virtual care management intervention: Delivery and outcomes by race/ethnicity among Veterans with hypertension and diabetes
Objective
To evaluate whether the Preventive Health Inventory (PHI)—a virtual care management intervention addressing hypertension and diabetes management implemented nationally in the Veterans Health Administration (VHA)—was delivered equitably among racial/ethnic groups and if existing inequities in hypertension and diabetes outcomes changed following PHI receipt.
Data Sources and Study Setting
We used data from the VHA Corporate Data Warehouse among Veterans enrolled in primary care nationally from February 28, 2021 to March 31, 2022.
Study Design
We used logistic regression to evaluate PHI receipt and hypertension and diabetes outcomes after PHI implementation among Veterans with hypertension and/or diabetes. We conducted unadjusted analyses and analyses adjusting for clinic fixed effects using dummy variables.
Data Collection/Extraction Methods
We identified Veterans engaged in primary care with documented race/ethnicity and hypertension and/or diabetes diagnoses in all months during the study period.
Principle Findings
Prior to PHI, Non-Hispanic Black (NHB) (42.2%) and Hispanic (39.5%) Veterans were less likely to have controlled hypertension vs. Non-Hispanic White (NHW) Veterans (47.5%); NHB Veterans (32.9%) were more likely to have uncontrolled diabetes vs. NHW Veterans (25.1%). Among 1,805,658 Veterans, 5.7% NHW (N = 68,744), 5.6% NHB (N = 22,580), 10.2% Hispanic (N = 13,313), 6.2% Asian/Pacific Islander/Native Hawaiian (N = 1868), 5.1% American Indian/Native Alaskan (N = 744), and 5.6% multiple races or other race (N = 1647) Veterans received PHI. We found no significant racial inequities in PHI receipt in unadjusted and adjusted models. Hypertension and diabetes measures improved more in the intervention group compared with the group who did not receive the intervention. There were no new or worsened inequities after PHI, and in pre-/post-intervention analysis, among NHB Veterans, the inequity in uncontrolled diabetes improved by 1.9 percentage points (95% CI 0.2, 3.6).
Conclusions
Our findings suggest the PHI intervention was equitably deployed across race/ethnicity groups without significantly impacting most existing inequities in diabetes and hypertension.
