WASHINGTON, D.C. – Atlas Research’s Chief Healthcare Transformation Officer, Dr. Kenneth W.

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.

Atlas has been providing ongoing support to implement this EBQI initiative to improve services delivered to women Veterans since 2016. With this new award, Atlas will continue working with facilities to create and implement structured QI projects that enhance care and services for women Veterans.

Atlas Research has received a $9.9 million task order from the VA Office of Modernization to support the Office as it integrates change initiatives across VA and focuses on Secretary Shulkin’s priorities
