Introduction
Assembling resources for the management of nursing functions is critical for the
delivery of quality healthcare services. Here are some important reasons why
assembling resources is important:
2. Define the goals and objectives: The second rule is to define clear
goals and objectives for the management of nursing functions. This
involves establishing specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and
time-bound (SMART) goals that align with the objectives of healthcare
organizations.
5. Implement the plan: The fifth rule is to implement the plan. This
involves assigning responsibilities, establishing timelines, and
monitoring progress to ensure that the plan is being implemented
effectively.
The traditional personnel system at the Veteran Administration, much like those of
the rest of the federal government, is being confronted by market pressures that are
provoking important changes. In order to compete for the talent necessary to fulfill VA’s
mission, our system for managing our human capital must evolve. It must become
more flexible, agile, effective and accountable in order to provide the range of services our
Nation’s veterans have been promised. The Strategic Plan that the Office of Human
Resources and Administration (HR&A) has developed in partnership with the Human
Resources community begins the process of transformation. The Office of Human Resources
and Administration will oversee a centralized HR governance process that will monitor the
implementation of this Plan, ensure compliance with federal and Veteran Administration

Resource Center, a tool that HR professionals and managers can use to address local
classification actions while staying consistent with both Office of Personnel Management

The next step in the strategic process is to ensure that Veteran Administration’s

expanding the collection and dissemination of personnel data, additional benefits will accrue.

The Veteran Health Administration (VHA) operates the United States’ largest
integrated health care system, public or private, with 1,100 facilities serving 8.5 million
enrolled veteran beneficiaries. Planning for such a large system requires accurate and timely
geographic analysis of facility and enrollee locations. Historically, the Planning System
Support Group provided planners with a host of static cartographic products and statistical
spatial gaps in access to health care where new facilities might best be located. They also

compare local access statistics to various benchmarks (Harp, 2010). Historically, the Planning
System Support Group provided planners with a host of static cartographic products and
statistical reports on access to facilities at all levels of Veteran Health Administration geography. In
basic ways, these products identify spatial gaps in access to health care where new facilities might
best be located. They also compare local access statistics to various benchmarks (Harp,
2010).
A Geographic Information System is a “computerized system that relates and display data
collected from geographic entity in the form of a map. The ability of GIS to overlay existing data
with new information and display it in color on a computer screen is used primarily to conduct
analysis and make decisions related to geology, ecology, land use, demographics, transportation,
and other domains, most of which relate to the human use of the physical environment.” The
VHA geocodes, its inventory of facilities quarterly and its list of beneficiaries all 8.5 million of
them annually, this work is done by the Planning System Support Group (PSSG) in Gainesville,
Florida, which houses the majority of the VHA’s geographic information system (GIS) personnel
The Geographical Information System (GIS) technology offers many advantages in data
integration, interactive querying of databases and design, and presentation of findings in the form of
maps. Both the visual impact and the data analysis provided by GIS’s are advantages that
support their use. The ability to overlay data layers allows for interpretation beyond that seen
with traditional research and statistical methods. The studies reviewed used GIS’s to both
empirically measure and visually identify and explore spatial relationships of health and health
variables. Geographical Information System use was effective in the investigation of various
aspects of healthcare access and health outcomes and therefore can be an asset in the
