did government Programs of Record just encounter their "great unbundling" moment??? The government speed of innovation is often encumbered by rules it is trying to follow. This maze makes it difficult for innovation to enter the government. Here the court agreed that commercial items vendors could make a claim against the government, even when their only way into the government is through a program of record already awarded to a prime system integrator. A lot is left to play out but this would be a watershed moment. What this practically means to me is the government will need to again focus on whether commercial or modified commercial items can meet a requirement. It will also force program owners to assess program risk in their build vs. buy decisions as if upheld, programs could be mired in litigation should a commercial company feel the prime is pursuing developmental work where their solution meets the requirements. In practice, I see this leading towards smaller more nimble programs where these decisions can be better localized and defended -- particularly in the age of #GenAI where the market is evolving so fast. Bundling requirements is authorized, but we may have hit our limit... enter the "great unbundling." Happy weekend all! https://lnkd.in/gjtDUxeS

Team PSI is at the forefront of efficient data migration for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) as part of the Electronic Health Record Modernization (EHRM) program. Leveraging our High-Volume Data Migration Validation (HV-DMV) Data Assessment and our innovative Rapid Transformation (DART) processes, our team meticulously validates the migration of data from legacy domains supporting the Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture (VistA) to the new EHR system. DART ensures data accuracy, integrity, and reliability, which are crucial for maintaining the continuity of care for our Veterans, improving patient safety, and leading to better Veteran healthcare outcomes. What sets our HV-DMV DART process apart is its advanced capability to handle complex VistA data structures and large volumes of data with exceptional precision. This process ensures the stringent standards are exceeded for such a critical application, thereby bringing immense value to our operations and ultimately to the Veterans we serve. #WeArePSI #TeamPSI #FedCivSector

The new partnership between the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and United States Department of Defense aims to provide better access to healthcare for veterans in Virginia, which has one of the fastest growing veteran populations in the country. Key points: - The Hampton VA Medical Center currently has a 45-day wait to see a doctor, and the Portsmouth VA Clinic has a 2-month wait. This new clinic at Joint Base Langley-Eustis will help offset those delays. - Up to 10,000 veterans are expected to receive care at the base clinic each year. It will primarily serve veterans in the local area, but veterans across the state can also utilize the services. - In addition to routine medical care, the clinic will offer mental health counseling, specialty women's health services, and diagnostic lab tests. There will also be a separate dental clinic on the base. - This is part of the VA's broader efforts to form more partnerships with military installations to supplement the care provided at VA hospitals and clinics, which are often aging and in need of upgrades. - The new clinic opening is timely, as over 20,000 additional veterans across Virginia have enrolled in VA healthcare in the past year due to the PACT Act expanding benefits for those exposed to toxic substances. #VeteransAffairs #MilitaryHealth #VeteransServices #VeteranSupport #VeteranCare
