Job Description:

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Veterans Health Administration (VHA) is America’s largest integrated health care system with over 1,700 sites of care, serving 8.76 million Veterans each year. For decades, the VHA has been a pioneer and leader in healthcare innovation. Today, wearable technologies, big data, machine learning, artificial intelligence, 3-D printing, and telehealth capabilities are driving significant and growing segments within the healthcare market. These emerging technologies, which are poised to transform care experience and service, can require enormous up-front investments and if not carefully designed, developed, and validated and/or tested in real-world settings, can yield little value to healthcare system or the patients it serves.

OHIL has identified 5 major innovation task categories or “growth areas” in which ongoing efforts are focused on: (1) Personalized Care; (2) Data Transformation; (3) Digital Care; (4) Immersive Technology; and (5) Care and Service Delivery Models. AVAIL will augment VHA and OHIL’s capacity, through subject matter expertise, to design, develop, and test novel solutions and accompanying care and service models in the real-world setting of the VHA, ensuring that solutions create meaningful value for VHA clinicians, administrators, caregivers, and most importantly, Veterans, before being scaled into clinical production. 

This is an excellent opportunity to make a difference every day in the work you do and positively impact the lives of millions.  Let’s talk about how great it would feel to end each day knowing what you do matters to so many!  Apply now for details on this exciting program.
