Semper Fi & America’s Fund (SFAF)\, a non-profit organ ization\, has developed a unique model of life-long case management\, disa bility related financial assistance and supportive services that provides a continuous\, personal relationship to severely injured Service Members a nd Veterans. This study utilizes a large dataset of case manager notes to explore the effectiveness of this approach and propose its core principles as a potential model for federal health professionals in preparation for the inevitable need to support future conflicts. The primary aim of this s tudy was to analyze 289\,160 anonymized case manager notes from the SFAF c ase manager database to assess four key indicators of well-being\, includi ng anxiety\, suicidal ideation\, substance use\, and legal issues.

Our analysis revealed interesting tren ds in Service Member and Veteran well-being associated with date of injury and when they joined the fund.

Long-term care for our nation's severely wo unded\, ill\, and injured Service Members and Veterans and their families presents formidable challenges. In addition to physical injuries\, conditi ons such as Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorde r (PTSD) require sustained\, lifelong support. While federal systems provi de acute and rehabilitative care\, gaps often emerge in managing the chron ic and social complexities of recovery. Semper Fi & America’s Fund (SFAF)\ , a non-profit organization\, has developed a unique model of life-long ca se management\, disability related financial assistance and supportive ser vices that provides a continuous\, personal relationship to severely injur ed Service Members and Veterans. This study utilizes a large dataset of ca se manager notes to explore the effectiveness of this approach and propose its core principles as a potential model for federal health professionals in preparation for the inevitable need to support future conflicts. The p rimary aim of this study was to analyze 289\,160 anonymized case manager n otes from the SFAF case manager database to assess four key indicators of well-being\, including anxiety\, suicidal ideation\, substance use\, and l egal issues. Utilizing a word finding search within the case management no tes\, a longitudinal analysis was performed on a retrospective cohort of 1 8\,245 Service Members and Veterans injured in Operation Iraqi Freedom (OI F) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) from 2003-2014. Our analysis revea led interesting trends in Service Member and Veteran well-being associated with date of injury and when they joined the fund. Additionally\, we foun d a correlation between sustained engagement with the case management mode l and the frequency of well-being indicators. This is the first study that suggests that a proactive\, relationship-centric\, and lifelong case mana gement model can improve long-term outcomes for severely wounded Service M embers and Veterans. Future research opportunities could include cost-effe ctiveness of the SFAF approach\, highlighting specific\, actionable best p ractices and integration for the Department of Veterans Affairs\, Departme nt of War\, and Public Health Service to enhance longitudinal care and red uce the societal burden of veteran injury.
