The Office of Healthcare Innovation and Learning (OHIL) brings together VHA Innovation Ecosystem (VHA IE), the Simulation Learning, Evaluation, Assessment and Research Network (SimLEARN), and the Center for Care and Payment Innovation (CCPI) .

Through these core programs, HIL advances VHA healthcare delivery and service by (1) fostering the discovery and spread of grassroots and strategic innovative solutions, practices and products across VA; (2) promoting competencies in innovation and simulation; (3) combining clinical simulation and training to further enhance the utilization and uptake of emerging healthcare technology in clinical practice; (4) developing innovative approaches to testing payment and service delivery models; and (5) advancing the use of clinical training and simulation to further VHA’s mission of becoming a high reliability organization.
