Innovative, In-House Process Reduces VA Production Time and Costs

Johnson Associates Systems, in partnership with the Department of Veteran Affairs, has developed TRI-FAB -- an innovative, in-house solution for providing orthotic and prosthetic care to amputees and others.

Johnson Associates Systems provides support to labs in the VA. Our TRI-FAB network is a triangulated configuration of scanners, mills, and thermo formers that does not rely on outside vendors. By providing support in key VISN's, this integrated process has significantly reduced the time from prescription to fit and support for each patient.

By enhancing O & P care in-house, this award-winning solution has enabled the VA to:

• expand patient access
• improve continuity of care
• improve timeliness of service
• reduce travel and production time
• increase revenue generation
• reduce costs
