U -- SOURCES SOUGHT FOR A SERVICE TO PROVIDE DEGREE-GRANTING PROGRAMS IN HEALTHCARE MANAGEMENT SOL EESSources1 DUE 022200 POC Karen Lebo (440)526-3030 X7444 The Employee Education System(EES) of the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) is performing a market research by seeking out information from small businesses that have an existing service which can provide access to degree-granting programs in healthcare management across the country and to high-level faculty in healthcare management. EES would like a service that would assist their faculty in making certificate and degree-granting curricula more accessible to full-time employees who aspire to leadership positions; to provide expert faculty and ACHE accreditation for the VHAs planned management satellite series; and to provide consultants and/or non-VHA mentors in the field of healthcare management to internal leadership development programs and activities (e.g., the proposed orientation sessions for new facility directors). Please send any literature, past performance on any existing services that could satisfy this need or can be tailored to satisfy this need. Posted 02/01/00 (W-SN420575). (0032)
