Cleaning with Confidence: VA Turns EMS into a Digital Safety Net
In the world of healthcare, cleanliness is more than just aesthetics—it’s essential to patient safety.

In the world of healthcare, cleanliness is more than just aesthetics—it’s essential to patient safety.

The healthcare industry is undergoing digital transformation and VA nutrition services are taking a big leap forward in this revolution.
The Veterans Affairs (VA) nutrition services are leading the way in digital transformation of healthcare. Traditionally, VA staff spent countless hours manually tracking food temperatures on paper, conducting audits, and documenting meal quality. The paper-based system required excessive time from staff while producing inconsistent results which yielded minimal nutritional service insights.
While much of the recent buzz has focused on AI, a closer look at the Winter release reveals that the most significant, immediate benefits are squarely aimed at the people building and maintaining the platform: the admins and developers.

If you’ve cleaned your data but haven’t operationalized how it stays clean, you’re still at risk.
Gridmate gives you ease of use and visibility tools to identify and fix problems.
MB&A gives you the process architecture to prevent them and become predictive.
Together, they form the foundation for AI-ready, audit-ready, confidence-inspiring Salesforce orgs.

This partnership accelerates digital transformation for federal, state, and local agencies, delivering productivity gains and maximizing Salesforce investments.
MB&A expands ExAM4Inspections to help public housing authorities meet HUD’s NSPIRE standards with secure, scalable, and adaptable inspection tools.
MB&A has delivered scalable, compliant, and rapid mission modernization through low-code/no-code (LC/NC) Centers of Excellence at two of the federal government’s largest and most complex organizations — the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the U.S. Air Force (USAF).
The result is a repeatable, platform-based CoE model that empowers federal agencies to:
-Replace legacy systems with secure, agile mission applications
-Accelerate time-to-impact while maintaining ATO compliance
-Embed technical mentorship to build digital and AI fluency internally
-Deliver better modern outcomes for Veterans, Airmen, and mission stakeholders

The VA’s approach to digital transformation represents more than just smart technology choices; it’s creating a sustainable ecosystem that empowers innovation while maintaining governance and security. This ecosystem approach stands in stark contrast to the traditional model of siloed applications, which are developed and maintained by individual contractors.

The VA Uses Digital Monitoring to Improve Patient Safety. The medical field faces major healthcare challenges due to hospital-acquired infections which include CLABSI, CAUTI and VAE. The VA leads the way in using data-based methods to stop these infections while using digital resources for better patient safety and operational excellence.

Across more than 1,200 VA healthcare facilities, environmental management and quality assurance processes were historically paper-based, labor-intensive, and inconsistent. Staff would conduct critical inspections using clipboards and checklists, manually enter data into spreadsheets, and struggle to generate meaningful reports or identify trends.
