Abstract: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) administers National Rehabilitation Special Events for Veterans who are receiving care at VA medical facilities. Each event promotes the healing of body and spirit by motivating eligible Veterans to reach their full potential, improve their independence, achieve a healthier lifestyle and enjoy a higher quality of life. The surveys are designed to allow program improvement and measure the tangible, quantifiable benefits of the events using event applications. Information collected on these applications is used for the planning, distribution and utilization of resources and to allocate clinical and administrative support to patient treatment services.
