VASTs consisted of regular meetings between rural VAMCs and an off-site ID expert who met by videoconference to discuss clinical cases, emphasizing recommendations for antibiotic prescribing. The VA Corporate Data Warehouse was used to collect information on patient medical encounter information. Interviews with healthcare professionals and surveys assessed perceptions of and experiences with VASTs.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>VASTs completed 624 clinical encounters on 531 unique patients. Half (53%) of the encounters required &amp;gt;20\u2005minutes. The most frequently discussed infections were respiratory tract (35%), skin and soft tissue (19%), and genitourinary (17%). Of the 73 (53% of 138 contacted) professionals who responded to the survey, &amp;gt;90% perceived VASTs as improving the quality of veteran care and agreed that recommendations were timely. All 24 interviewees identified VASTs as meeting an important need at the rural site and that the virtual system facilitated collaboration.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>These findings indicate successful implementation of a telehealth program to disseminate ID and antimicrobial stewardship expertise to rural VAMCs.
