- Ensure sustainability and spread of program efforts directed at improving quality, safety, effectiveness, and efficiency using management engineering. The incumbent will collaborate with medical center leadership and management to ensure that improvements to processes spread to other work unites and locations and that these improvements are sustained over time.

The incumbent will work with other individuals and services to develop automated systems for tracking improvement (data trending, data dashboards, and balanced scorecards) and for monitoring project
progress and completion (project management, "closing the loop"). The incumbent will provide oversight for national reporting activities related to the VISN 2 Improvement Program. - Manage faculty and staff involved in planning and conduct studies directed at reducing errors due to cognitive overloading and human-computer interaction failure. The incumbent will work with VISN 2 faculty and staff to identify systems design problems that contribute to human errors and then identify alternative systems and processes based on systems engineering principles to mitigate these types of errors.
- Manage faculty and staff involved planning and conducting studies of management functions in support of improvements in organizational structure and staffing level efficiency. The incumbent will actively participate in the network's and national VHA efforts to create a culture of quality, safety, effectiveness, and efficiency by planning and conducting studies directed at identifying optimum
