Concerted resolve and coordinated planning on the part of both administrative and patient care staff at the medical center made it possible to treat more patients in fewer beds than ever before and to improve the core staffing ratio at the same time. Staffing was enhanced and new programs were developed using available resources. Reduction of the average LOS for patients throughout the medical center was a primary factor in these achievements. In addition, formal quality assurance activities were strengthened; with careful planning and increased funding, the renovation of facilities and purchase of new equipment was also possible, thus making the improvement project comprehensive. These changes have had a major, beneficial impact on the delivery of health care a the Dublin Veterans Administration Medical Center.
医疗中心行政人员和医护人员齐心协力、协同规划，使得在床位减少的情况下能够比以往治疗更多患者，同时提高了核心人员配备比例。利用现有资源增加了人员配备并开展了新项目。降低医疗中心所有患者的平均住院日是取得这些成果的主要因素。此外，加强了正式的质量保证活动；通过精心规划和增加资金，还得以翻新设施并购置新设备，从而使改进项目更加全面。这些变革对都柏林退伍军人管理局医疗中心的医疗服务产生了重大的积极影响。
