Summary

This trial is testing two strategies to help support and sustain evidence-based practices for women Veterans in up to 20 VA facilities.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for VA facilities that serve women veterans. It's not for individual patients. Facilities must have leadership support to participate and are prepared to implement evidence-based practices aimed at improving health outcomes in areas like diabetes, obesity, depression, and cardiovascular disease.
What is being tested?
The EMPOWER QUERI 2.0 Program is testing two strategies (EBQI and REP) across up to 20 VA facilities to see which better supports the implementation of healthcare practices designed for women veterans' mental and physical health.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this study focuses on facility-level interventions rather than direct patient treatments, it does not involve side effects in the traditional sense of medical interventions.
