Romanyk Consulting Corporation (RCC) is developing Facility Master Plans for the VA Mid-Atlantic Health Care Network (VISN 6) Medical Centers, including their leased properties. The Master Plan will cover a five thru ten-year planning time horizon. RCC's master planning team is collaborating with VA planners and leadership to develop an understanding of the VA wide organizational culture and priorities along with the VISN and local facility goals and priorities.

RCC planners are analyzing each facility's mission and delivery of patient care, ancillary, diagnostic, research, and support services. They identify key service lines, including interaction and adjacency of relevant programs, both internal and external to the facility. They analyze the allotment and configuration of existing space and acreage and recommend changes to meet the facility’s strategic planning goals, including facilitation of both patient care and support operations. They identify specific capital initiatives such as construction projects and or leases required to implement these changes to include the development of a realistic timeline, order of magnitude cost estimates, and detailed description and statement of work.

This analysis is performed with the involvement of key VISN 6 and facility staff. RCC analyzes and integrates input and direction provided by facility and network level Strategic/Capital Asset Plans, medical center staff input, data on veteran population, workload demand and projection forecasts located in the VA’s Pyramid website, Veterans Support Service Center (VSSC) Space Calculations, FCA, and site-specific community and stakeholder issues.
