The goal of the Multiple Sclerosis Surveillance Registry (MSSR) project is to create a surveillance system for the Veteran patient population afflicted with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) receiving care through the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). This objective will be met through the collection of clinical utilization, demographic, and epidemiological data.
The MSSR project will create a surveillance system for the entire MS patient population within the VHA. This will be accomplished via the collection of clinical utilization, demographic, and epidemiologic data. It will also provide reporting capabilities on this Veteran population to VA senior leadership and Congress to shape policy in efforts to improve delivery of care.
