David Grant USAF Medical CenterVA Northern California Health Care System
Reporting Facility Names: VA Northern California Health Care System (VANCHCS)and David Grant USAF Medical Center (DGMC)
Agreement:Overall Master Sharing Agreement provides for services at 75% CMAC plus per diem, pharmacy, etc. JIF funded proposals provide for salary offsets in the sustainment years. Other proposals based on excess capacity or currency requirements on a limited time basis (general surgery 0% CMAC thru end of calendar year 2011). Services provided to the DoD at McClellan are billed at VA costs.
Baseline and Current Status:Maintain inpatient access for Veterans at DGMC. Average daily census of Veterans @ 20. Dialysis maximized at 60 patients . Neurosurgery targets maintained at >100 surgeries a year. Radiation therapy maximum throughput 60 patients/month currently at 50. Inpatient Mental Health underutilized by 2,500 bed days of care a year. Other JIF service lines have their own unique metrics.
Quantitative Results from the Agreement:Overall goal is to increase access and reduce Non VA Care Costs by 25% and DoD Purchased Care. Individual JIF service lines have their own unique metrics.
Qualitative Value of the Agreement:DGMC is a third access point for VANCHCS Veterans. Its location is ideally situated mid way between East Bay and Sacramento on the I-80 corridor. Increases access and proximity. VANCHCS Director refers to DGMC as an extension of the VA healthcare system. Complexity and comorbidities of Veterans provides clinical currency for military staff and training/residency programs.
Service Provided: Services provided for Veterans at DGMC: ED, inpatient, outpatient, inpatient mental health, dialysis, neurosurgery, radiation therapy, cardiovascular and endovascular surgery services. Services provided for DoD beneficiaries at McClellan VA OPC: lab, radiology and pharmacy and leased clinical space. Leased space at Fairfield VA OPC for AF chiropractic and joint neuro surgery clinic.

Joint Venture Performance Measures
PMs USED TO TRACK JV SUCCESS:
1. Have access standards been met?
2. Have new consults increased to X per month?
3. Have out of system referrals for VA and DoD decreased?
4. Has the Agreement moved to the level of a more highly integrated model?
5. Are Patient / Employee satisfaction surveys analyzed and reported?
DATA SOURCES USED FOR THE PMs:
1. ProClarity Data Cube (Fee and referral workload)
2. CHCS, M2, locally produced clinic data bases
3. VA Survey of Healthcare Experiences of Patients (SHEP), and DoD Patient Surveys
OUTCOMES FOR EACH PM LISTED:
1. Access within standards or reduced wait list
2. Consults less than predicted but procedures on target
3. May not have decreased as projected but no increase in referrals
4. Integration varies by longevity and strong “champions” of the program
5. Excellent patient / employee satisfaction surveys
