Abstract
The topic for the research proposal seeks to determine the preference for medical care by military veterans between the Kaiser Permanente and Veterans Health Clinic in Stockton, California, based on quality and access to care. The importance of this particular research may broaden ongoing studies to support and improve the healthcare needs of military veterans. Relevant literature to support the research will substantiate and justify the Veterans Choice of care between VA and private healthcare. A vast portion of the research method will consist of quantitative techniques in order to produce and compare statistical data. Additionally, the proposed study will require the use of a qualitative methodology to analyze two organizations and the samples involved within those entities. The potential impact of this particular research is the possibility to supplement and validate ongoing research which drives the need of improving healthcare quality and access to health services for military veterans.
