In this video: Timeline for IOC (May 1st) and FOC (end of September) implementation. What this means for headquarters and VISN staff. How the Medical Operations Center will coordinate clinical service lines. A new self-inspection program that reduces facility review burden. Streamlined policy development that ends the “18-version problem.” Why Under Secretary for Health Bartrum compares RISE implementation to conducting an orchestra. 🎼 Learn more about VHA RISE: digital.va.gov/RISE #VARestructure, #VAReorganization, #VHARise, #VHAReorganization, #VHARestructure
