Summary: The impacts of obesity on health care delivery are significant, with increased risk of chronic diseases and the need for improved clinical practices. Changing the view on obesity and prioritizing weight management can lead to advancements in healthcare facilities and equipment, as well as bias training and education opportunities. Ultimately, this will result in better care for individuals with obesity, improved health outcomes, and cost-savings.

Summary: Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a form of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) that can lead to severe liver disease. Many patients with NASH have initial discussions about symptoms with primary care doctors, but only a small percentage receive their NASH diagnosis from these doctors. Primary care doctors lack awareness of guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of NASH. Management of NASH often involves lifestyle changes, exercise, diet modifications, and medication.

Summary: Virtual care is crucial for VHA's effort in expanding veterans' access to care, and research on refining virtual care delivery models is needed. A Think Tank convened in December 2019 to address challenges in virtual care research and practice, discuss novel approaches, and develop priorities to enhance virtual care in VHA. The Think Tank identified four key priorities: scaling evidence-based practices, centralizing virtual care, creating high-value care within VHA with virtual care, and identifying appropriate patients for virtual care.
