Healthcare Effectiveness through Resource Optimization

Academic Affiliates

VA has long standing relationships with its Academic Affiliates and recognizes their value in providing care to veterans and plans to fully engage them throughout Project HERO. VA will continue to work with Academic Affiliates to explore care and business management strategies that have proven valuable in the broader public and private sectors. These innovative partnerships will enable strategic leadership for the design of care initiatives that are focused on cost, quality and service. Together, VA and its partners will collaborate to achieve specific and challenging health system objectives and provide better care for all veterans.

VA will provide Academic Affiliates with reports on a quarterly and annual basis. Reports will include metrics for cost, quality, safety, vendor performance and other data relevant to the demonstration. This will help to ensure that Project HERO is meeting the goals and objectives outlined in the House of Representatives Committee on Appropriations Conference Report H.R. 109-305.
