 Human Resources Strategic Management

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

Human Resources policies and procedures, and maintain

accountability at all levels (Pittman, 2010).

Underlying and supporting the planned systemic changes in the Human

Resources environment is the development of an effective, user-friendly, Human

Resources Information System. The key part of this system will be a web-based HR

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

and VA classification guidelines. It will include position descriptions, performance standards,

functional statements and competencies, performance-based interview questions and

eventually, electronic employee records. In Practical terms, this system will, when a

performance measure for a certain grade is needed, enable an HR professional to go on-line

and look up and select from several examples of performance measures at the grade in

question. In addition, this system will make both historical and current

workforce data available so that HR professionals will be able to do trend analysis to help VA
 HUMAN RESOURCES STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT 3

managers determine future workforce needs based on retirements, promotions, re-assignments

and other significant personnel actions (Pittman, 2010).

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

human capital plans and strategies are developed and implemented in such a way that they

serve the mission, goals, objectives and budget of the entire department. The requires

clear lines of communication, effective planning processes between the administrations,

staff offices and human resource and administration, skilled human resource staffing

throughout veteran administration, and one-veteran administration approach to marketing

and staffing. A properly functioning human capital program will provide an adequate

supply of qualified prospective employees for planned departures and new openings.

Veteran Administration is developing new information systems that will help identify an

appropriate pool of internal veteran administration candidates for those openings. Also, by

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

Databases that maintain an inventory of employees’ skills, core competency requirements

for each position, and training programs to fulfill the competencies and to prepare

employees for their future posts, will establish the critical base for

a successful human capital program (Pittman, 2010).

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

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). Historically, the Planning

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

and resources (Shaw, 2012).

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

understanding and resolution of health disparities (Graves, 2008).
