We found inappropriate prescribing of zolpidem, in terms of both guideline-discordant dosage and coprescribing with benzodiazepines, with female veterans affected more than male veterans.

Among veterans in Massachusetts, receipt of opioids from multiple sources, with or without benzodiazepines, was associated with worse opioid-related outcomes.

Self-testing of anticoagulation improves outcomes, but is expensive. One might assume it is more helpful for patients living farther from care, but the authors disprove this assumption.

Anticoagulation clinics in an integrated healthcare system differed widely in their organization and management, but these differences were not consistently related to their performance.

Within the Veterans Affairs system, diabetes performance measures were similar in patients who received chronic opioid therapy and in those who did not.
