Organizational Excellence and Transformation

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration (VHA) has issued an $18 million, three-year contract to Atlas Research to identify and implement innovations that improve access to care, care coordination, employee engagement, quality, and safety for the 8.76 million Veterans who receive care at more than 1,700 VHA sites each year

Atlas Research’s ability to modernize legacy operations is best illustrated by our work for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), where we are helping execute on all five of the department’s top priorities. The first is providing greater choice for Veterans, and we’re deeply involved in one of biggest choices of all: allowing Veterans to age at home. This is the kind of complex equation that Atlas excels at solving. We have deep knowledge of health care delivery, the Veteran population, and the challenges of accessing health care in rural communities where millions of Veterans live. We have also trained tens of thousands of family members to care for Veterans at home.

This project, valued at $4.7 million, represents Atlas Research’s second prime award under the recently established federal Human Capital and Training Solutions (HCaTS) contract vehicle.

Over the past year, Atlas Research partnered with the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) to help design and implement a mechanism to identify innovations and best practices that improve access to care, care coordination, employee engagement, Veteran experience, and quality and safety for the 8.76 million Veterans who receive care at the more than 1,700 VHA sites each year. From these efforts, VHA’s Diffusion of Excellence Initiative was born.
