A Study to Test and Analyze a Manpower Resource Management System for the Veterans Administration Health System. Final Report. Staffing Methodologies. Volume I

摘要

This study is the first volume of a two volume set within a group of five volumes submitted to the National Academy of Sciences by CSF Ltd. and Arthur Young and Co. Volume I deals with staffing methodologies, and presents the Manpower Resource Management System (MRMS) which was developed for the VA health system as a means of providing information to management for the control and allocation of human resources. Fact Finders, which determine major functions performed, equipment used in the service, organization layouts, policies and procedures, hours of operation, historical workload volume and mix, and other service-specific data are included for each service. Implementation guides, data collection check lists, data collection forms, standard development worksheets and target setting instructions accompany the fact finders for each respective service. This two volume set should be used as a whole.
