1 Installation Name: Joint Venture Review 2011 VA/DoD Joint Venture Conference Mike O’Callaghan Federal Hospital Briefing

2 VA Southern NV Healthcare System & 99 MDG (Nellis AFB) Agreement: Agreement allows the VA an inpatient presence in the Las Vegas Valley and provides VA/AF integrated services in Emergency Dept, ICU, SDU, OR, PACU, Dietary, and ancillaries. AF bills VA for services provided to VA patients; in turn, VA bills AF for services rendered by VA to DoD patients. Baseline and Current Status: Baseline is VA admits 300-350 patients per month to the MOFH. VA patients overflow to the AF unit to avoid admissions in the network and a new initiative is AF admits VA patients to the AF unit; whereas before, VA would admit to the AF unit. Quantitative Results from the Agreement: Cost avoidance over time will be achieved when, on days the VA ward is full, AF admits of VA patients will equate to savings. With a “preferred provider” rate, the VA will realize tremendous savings. VA data show, on average, there are 31 admits/day in the network; so, results of this initiative are expected to be favorable. Tracking will begin in Oct 11. Qualitative Value of the Agreement: Non-quantitative values include meeting more of the healthcare needs of VA and DoD populations and reducing private sector care costs. Wartime readiness clinical currency requirements of AF specialists will continue to provide excess capacity to the VA. AF leadership is focused on making specialty capacity stable and predictable to VA while meeting ongoing deployment requirements. Services Provided: Integrated services at Mike O’Callaghan Federal Hospital (MOFH)
