I've got to stick with the health promotion theme. I think VIP works very well. I think there are some wrinkles in the sense that people need more assistance in linking to services—that is, they need help in getting the person to shovel the snow, etc.—but even that's getting better across the country. I think VIP is working well.
I think the long-term care is working better because of moving beyond just the designated veterans beds in veterans facilities. Going to the community beds has made a big difference. Our recommendation is that we need to make access to retirement homes and assisted living easier, which will improve that whole residential side even more.
I think there's been a huge gap in Veterans Affairs on the health promotion side. We've been waiting until veterans got into difficulty before we really admitted them into the service end of the system; we provided help to them after they were frail and after they could no longer do things. We don't know how long they were in difficulty before they contacted Veterans Affairs. I think if we can link to as many veterans as we can find in this country, get through to them on the health promotion side, and work with them, we'll have a better chance of either eliminating or delaying some negative health consequences and we will have better attachment. We can get them VIP services earlier, if that's necessary, and they won't have to get sick before we start working with them.
