U.S. Veterans Affairs Holds National Health Research Meeting
美國退伍軍人事務部召開全國健康研究會議
The U.S.
美國退伍軍人事務部是醫學創新領域的全球領袖，以「學習型醫療體系」的模式運作，利用現實世界中的患者數據持續推動科學突破。
Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is a global leader in medical innovation, operating as a "learning health system" where real-world patient data constantly drives new scientific discoveries.
該機構使命的核心在於定期舉辦全國性的健康研究會議。
Professional gatherings, such as those hosted by HSR&D/QUERI, focus on sharing findings in areas like mental health, chronic pain, and implementation science.
VA的一大獨特優勢在於，其研究人員中有超過70%同時也是臨床醫師，這確保了研究能直接回應退伍軍人不斷變化的需求。
A unique strength of the VA is that over 70% of its researchers are also clinicians, ensuring that research directly addresses the evolving needs of Veterans.
此外，諸如國家研究諮詢委員會舉辦的正式諮詢會議，透過允許公眾參與並向VA領導層提供指導，展現了透明度。
Furthermore, formal advisory meetings, like those held by the National Research Advisory Council (NRAC), offer transparency by allowing public participation and providing guidance to VA leadership.
從首例肝臟移植等歷史性突破，到現代個人化醫療的努力，這些會議確保了研究經費能被有效運用，以改善退伍軍人的照護品質。
From historic breakthroughs like the first liver transplant to modern efforts in personalized medicine, these meetings ensure that research dollars are used effectively to improve Veteran care.
透過促進合作與創新，VA持續將開創性的科學轉化為能改變生活的醫療方案，造福那些曾為國家奉獻的軍人。
By fostering collaboration and innovation, the VA continues to transform groundbreaking science into life-changing medical solutions for those who served.
