About Health Economics Resource Center

HERC helps VA researchers determine the cost of VA care, assess cost-effectiveness, and evaluate the efficiency of VA programs. We conduct two seminar series on health economics, coordinate monthly economic cyber seminars, and operate an economics consulting service for VA researchers. We estimate the cost of all VA health care encounters, develop guidebooks to VA data, and issue technical reports with analyses of economic data. The expertise of HERC economists is developed through their participation and leadership in economic studies that are funded by VA Health Systems Research (HSR), the VA Quality Enhancement Research Initiative (QUERI), the VA Cooperative Studies Program (CSP), the National Institutes of Health, and other research sponsors.
