Veterans Affairs Professional, Technical, and Strategic Health Information Services

Booz Allen and the Veterans Health Administration—Professional, Technical, and Strategic Services

To advance its customers’ mission requirements across the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) seeks—through the Professional, Technical, and Strategic Services (PTSS) Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA)—to provide services in the context of Health Information Management and Information Technology (IM/IT), as well as liaison between VHA clinical and business owners and the VA Office of Information & Technology (OIT).

Booz Allen Hamilton understands that the ever-changing Health IM/IT environment presents new challenges requiring the ability to rapidly bring expertise to bear on emergent issues. Perhaps most significant is our understanding of the mission and culture of the VHA. We have performed a broad spectrum of work at the VA for more than 20 years, delivering strategic and technical expertise and implementing quality health solutions and guidance through lean processes that support our nation’s veterans.

Booz Allen is a leading strategy and technology consulting firm. We serve federal defense and civilian healthcare agencies, as well as the industry’s leading national health plans, large multi-specialty group practices, and other specialty companies, to generate results that endure. For decades, Booz Allen has provided strategy, program, and IT support to healthcare clients, including the VA, the Department of Defense, the Department of Health and Human Services and its operating divisions, and commercial healthcare providers and pharmaceutical companies. We have a deep understanding of the US healthcare delivery system, including the IT solutions and infrastructure needed to support clinical, business, and administrative systems.

The Booz Allen team comprises Booz Allen and six partners. We selected each partner for its Health IM/IT capabilities, positioning us to provide VHA with value-added resources to advance mission responsibilities and bring quality solutions in support of clients’ most vexing challenges. The capabilities available through this PTSS BPA allow customers to quickly obtain Booz Allen’s expertise and reach out to members of the Booz Allen team to deliver against performance work statements.

The strengths of the Booz Allen team include our—

• Relationships with the VA and understanding of the VA mission and culture
• Professional, capable, and highly experienced healthcare leaders and key personnel
• Team structure, management processes, rapid response capabilities, and proven ability to manage complex teams, resulting in quality delivery that advances programs
