Future Joint Venture Federal Campus Mission To improve the quality, efficiency, and effectiveness of the delivery of benefits and services to veterans, service members, military retirees and their families through an enhanced VA and DoD partnership. Vision Statement (adopted 9 Dec 09) “Establish a collaborative system of care for DoD/VA beneficiaries in an integrated medical center under Army command and control and a shared DoD/VA governance structure that achieves seamless delivery of services for beneficiaries, continuity of care, quality care, and cost effectiveness.”
CONOPS Review CONOPS signed by Principals on 4 Jan 2010 Governance: • One governance structure • WBAMC Commander exercises command and control (C2) over the integrated Army/VA Medical Center. • EPVAHCS Director exercises complete authority over separate VA outpatient services. • Joint Army/VA representation on medical and leadership committees and on the joint medical staff. Strategic Planning Focus: Will consider the DoD, Army, DVA and VHA strategic priorities, missions, and guidance during program development.
Daily Operations Framework Objective: combine services where feasible to reduce duplication and increase efficiencies. • Integrate specialty care services as possible, or co-locate with option of integrated administrative support. • Known, current exception: In-Patient Mental Health Care. • WBAMC will have a separate AD inpatient unit, staffed and operated by and for the Army. • VA will perform cost/benefit analysis to determine if a second inpatient mental health unit is needed. • Staffing and Resources will be consistent with workload between DoD and VA beneficiaries.
