Federal Staffing Resources

FSR delivers innovative and often complex staffing solutions to assist improving patient outcomes in the federal government's extensive health system. We applaud the efforts of the Veterans Affairs in their agility and innovative solutions with the healthcare needs of Veterans. One of the difficulties in treating patients during the unprecedent COVID-19 pandemic has been overwhelmed healthcare facilities and workers in hot spot areas facing unsustainable surges of patient demand. Other areas have remained quiet with relatively few cases even within the same state. For decades mobile health units have cared for the wounded and injured in battlefields across the world. The COVID-19 crisis has become a new battlefield with its own need for solutions. The Veterans Health Affairs developed a mobile unit to help address some of these challenges by parlaying battlefield logistic solutions to the healthcare system supporting veterans. The mobile ICU developed by the VHA can be used not only for COVID, but also if a natural disaster sends an overwhelming number of patients to a VA facility.
