As the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) makes the change over to Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISNs) the need for new and better leadership is warranted if VA wants to not only survive, but thrive in the emerging twenty-first century healthcare system. VA can prepare for the future and meet the challenges facing them by adopting a system of visionary leadership. The use of scenarios and vision techniques are explained as they relate to VA's efforts to move toward their new system of VISNs. The four scenarios provide snapshots of possible futures for the U.S. healthcare system as well as the possible future role and mission of VA--from VA disappearing to its becoming a premier virtual organization.
随着美国退伍军人事务部（VA）向退伍军人综合服务网络（VISNs）转变，如果VA不仅想在新兴的21世纪医疗体系中生存，还想蓬勃发展，那么就需要新的、更优秀的领导。VA可以通过采用有远见的领导体系为未来做好准备，并应对面临的挑战。文中解释了情景规划和愿景技术与VA向VISNs新体系迈进的努力之间的关系。这四种情景描绘了美国医疗体系可能的未来，以及VA可能扮演的未来角色和使命——从VA消失到成为一个卓越的虚拟组织。
