Healthcare Program
Jonas Veterans Healthcare Program
Program goal
Recognizing the tremendous commitment and sacrifices our veterans have made to serve our country, the Jonas Center is committed to do our part to support improved healthcare for this population (Jonas Center, N.d.).
The Jonas Center's vision is to foster new partnerships that help improve veterans' healthcare through nursing and we welcome all contributions to support our efforts.
• Program scope
Starting in the fall of 2012, the Jonas Center will support scholarships for 54 nurses to be trained at the doctoral level (PhD and DNP) on veteran-specific healthcare needs, ranging from clinical to policy to administration to education, to help ensure our veterans are receiving the best possible care. Scholar's research projects will be focused on priority veterans' healthcare need (as identified by the White House and Veterans Administration).
• Program audience
Students, veterans, and the general public.
• Program background
Occasionally, a donor's vision generates a new model of giving that affects countless others. This is the case with Barbara and Donald Jonas, philanthropists and noted art collectors who decided to increase their giving during their lifetimes. In May of 2005, working with the Jewish Communal Fund and Christie's, the Jonas family auctioned 15 of their abstract expressionist artworks and generated $44 million to seed the Barbara and Donald Jonas Family Fund (Jonas Center, N.d.).
In early 2006, the couple established the Jonas Center for Nursing Excellence, a first-of-its-kind philanthropic program dedicated to advancing the nursing profession in New York City through two main areas of activity
Creating a unique grant structure based on the forging of partnerships between schools of nursing and clinical practice settings
Convening opinion leaders to develop solutions to long-standing problems challenging the nursing profession
Rationale for developing this evaluation plan
This is an interesting program to tackle the challenges that veterans face who serve in the armed forces. There is a shortage of nurses that are available to treat veterans so it makes sense to provide scholarships to qualified individuals to help fill these positions.
• Existing program evaluation program model, if available
This program is unique so there really isn't a model available to compare it to.

The results of this analysis highlight the need for hospitals to fine-tune their discharge process to reduce readmissions, and support the expenditure of additional resources for this purpose as a cost-effective intervention; as an example, author cites a hospital in Iowa that implemented a rigorous post-discharge planning process for patients with heart failure and 30-day readmission rates were reduced by 3-9% during the 3-month period following implementation.
