Request justification: The Geriatric Scholars Program is a national workforce development program that provides training in geriatrics and disseminates educational materials to VA clinicians across the country. The Rehabilitation toolkit is a brand-new addition to the collection of VA toolkits covering a wide variety of medical topics. The previous toolkits developed focused primarily on assisting Primary Care clinicians (physicians, nurses, etc.) and this edition is specifically designed to provide the VA Rehabilitation Therapist workforce with a comprehensive toolkit to assist them in patient evaluation and treatment. Benefit to VA employees --- The Geriatric Scholars Program is part of the VA initiative to improve care and retain staff in rural areas, to deliver Patient-Centered Care in Patient Aligned Care Teams and meet VA strategic goals. This toolkit was developed to assist VA rehabilitation therapists in identifying and addressing various morbidities in their patient population. This resource will provide clinicians with the means to better serve our veteran population and falls in-line with the VA s goal of becoming a highly reliable organization and providing the highest quality healthcare possible for our veterans. Harm to VA if work is not done --- The VA Office of Rural Health accepted the funding on behalf of the VA Geriatric Scholars Program and transferred funds to the administrative Hubsite (GLA). The VA Deputy Undersecretary for Health and Operations Management announced the program to the Network Directors and all VISNs are required to assist the Geriatric Scholars Program achieve its goals in training our workforce in geriatrics. Failure to use funds would reflect poorly on GLA and VISN 22 management.
