Symptom Burden and Care Satisfaction in US Military Veterans With ALS: Results of a National Survey
This survey indicates that, overall, veterans with ALS receive comprehensive symptom-based care within the nationalized VA care system and report high levels of satisfaction. Furthermore, this study provides baseline data and findings that may be used for quality improvement efforts across a large healthcare system and may serve as a model for similar efforts in other health systems.
