News from the research tank: ADAPT researchers just published a study on characteristics of PT clinics prepping to launch Group PT for Veterans with knee OA. Turns out, even when clinics are ready, local context matters—especially in smaller or rural ponds.

New research in @journalgim.bsky.social by @annahungrx.bsky.social explores how Veterans pick where to fill diabetes meds—VA, Medicare, or both. Cost was the top factor, but folks also cared about convenience, provider advice & info access. Better coordination = smooth sailing 4 Vets ⛵! #VAResearch

🐟 Big fins up to @brystana.bsky.social team! They dove deep into how VA providers see outpatient palliative care. Turns out, we need better support, less confusion, and invest in our teams to make it work. Caring for Veterans with dignity? That’s the catch of the day. 🎣💙 #PalliativeCare #VAResearch

The sinker: Researchers propose expanding options to care so that infectious disease docs can focus on their specialty- managing long term care for HIV; and Primary Care doctors can support the long term management of cardiovascular conditions and other common ailments.
