(vi) STATEMENT OF WORK Gulf Coast Veterans Health Care System (GCVHCS) Community Living Center Bed Replacement PROJECT SUMMARY: GCVHCS seeks to replace 87 beds in the community living center (short-term, long-term and hospice). Of the 87 beds, 19 bariatric beds must be included. For expeditious and ease of altering patient care needs, the mattress should be modular and have the ability to be separated from the bed frame. For example, if a patient in Hospice Care who is beginning the final stages of his/her life, GCVHCS requires the ability to change the mattress to a larger one so their loved ones may lie in bed with them while keeping the bed frame in the room and unchanged. The mattresses should fit the bed frame to ensure The Joint Commission standards are met. The goals of preventive geriatrics are not only reduction of premature morbidity and mortality but preservation of maximal quality of life and function. Preventive health in advanced age therefore consists of efforts to promote lifestyle behaviors that avoid onset and minimize the progression of chronic diseases and encourage heightened sensitivity to environmental conditions in order to minimize the likelihood of incidents that may be particularly hazardous to an older individual. Community Living Center (CLC) teams promote Veteran emotional well-being through collaborative assessment and treatment of mental disorders and addressing behavioral symptoms, often a reflection of unmet needs, through a balance of Veteran-centered behavioral, environmental, and pharmacological interventions. VHA s goal for Veterans with dementia is continuous quality improvement of comprehensive, coordinated care. Long-term Care Dementia Units focus primarily on comfort and supportive care of Veterans in the later stages of their dementing illness. This service may be provided on a specialty unit within a VA Community Living Center The CLC has a requirement to standardize with a medical bed systems that provides a consistency in bed features throughout all areas of the Community Living Center environment. (Rehab, Extended Care, Palliative Care, Bariatric and Dementia Specialty Units). These elements of care are critical in maintaining the highest possible standards of care. So that care givers can provide consistent protocols, when they consistently use the same safe patient handling features, the acquisition of bed frames must meet the design and standardization requirements throughout the environment of care. The facility must also maintain consistency in operations and training allowing current personnel the ability to effectively train new personnel if needed. Limiting confusion with multiple bed systems will maintain safety of both caregiver and patient, and Safe Patient Handling protocols state that it is best to continue operations with uniform equipment versus trying to learn multiple systems. In addition, the time required for training VA personnel on a different bed system will not be necessary. DEFINITIONS/ACRONYMS: A. Engineer(ing) - Supervisor or designee. B.
