Description

Statement of Work (SOW)/Specifications Template/Guide Background Voluntary Service, a section of Community Engagement & Veteran Experience (CEVE), is authorized to use donated funds to provide transportation to Veterans, even those not eligible for beneficiary travel. To facilitate patient flow, utilization/bed management, patient safety, access to care, and patient experience, we require a process where specific VA staff can order transportation as needed for the above purposes. A ride-share service provides this solution and can be paid from General Post Funds controlled by Voluntary Service. Objectives The objective is to remove transportation barriers. Our Beneficiary Travel office piloted use of this service two years ago, and has currently implemented it, seeing improvements in patient flow, utilization/bed management, patient safety, access to care, and patient experience. Lack of transportation is a barrier to access, care (especially ambulatory surgery) and discharge, and is a source of patient anxiety and thus patient experience. Scope This Statement of Work (SOW) defines the effort required for VA staff to procure transportation services that will improve patient flow, utilization/bed management, patient safety, access to care, and patient experience. The SOW includes the associated requirements for the scope of work to be performed, place of performance, period of performance, schedule of deliveries, and acceptance procedures.
