VISN 23Interview Highlights
• How familiar are you with JWOD, and how would you assess the level of support for JWOD in your VISN?
• In the scheme of competing priorities, where does JWOD stand in your VISN relative to the other socio-economic goals?
• What barriers to JWOD do you see in your VISN?
P A G E 243
Summary: Observations
• A-76 studies are not being funded
– Impacts commercial activities inventory data provided to NISH
• VISNs basically share the same mission and vision
– Honor America’s veterans by providing exceptional health care that improves their health and well-being.
– Be the health care provider of choice, achieving the highest quality in health care delivery, education and research.
• Five-year projections for operations and maintenance budget are unavailable
– FY 2004 data are last reported
P A G E 244
Summary: Common Interview Responses (Themes)
• Three important themes emerged from interviews
– JWOD Program awareness is high among VISN managers, but marketing to VISN staffers needs improvement
– SDVOSBs have procurement preference
– Residual resistance to NISH is based on perception that it is a high-cost provider
P A G E 245
P A G E 246
P A G E 247
Potential Marketing Strategy
• Develop partnership with VA’s Homeless Veterans Program
– Make pitch to senior VA leadership first
– Explore the possibility of employing homeless veterans in exchange for an increased share of VA procurements
• Strategy separates NISH from the “pack” by making NISH an employer of veterans as opposed to just another contractor
P A G E 248
Potential Marketing Strategy (Continued)
• At the VISN level– Meet with director or surrogate before contacting facility
directors
• At the facility level– Meet with Homeless Veterans Program Coordinator
• Explain how NISH can employ homeless veterans
• Enlist support in making pitch to facility director and subordinates
– Meet with Director• Ensure facility staff are aware of NISH and its support of the
Homeless Veterans Program
• Request opportunity to present proposals in anticipation of unadvertised requirements
