چکیده
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Central Office Geriatrics and Extended Care Strategic Healthcare Group (GEC SHG) determined that projections of the numbers of veterans with Dementia which were established in 1989 (Mortimer) needed to be updated and expanded to address the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) enrolled and patient populations. The GEC SHG requested assistance in obtaining these updated projections. This paper, prepared under the auspices of the Office of the Assistant Deputy Under Secretary for Health, complies with this request.
