Prosthetic Representative (Assistant Chief)

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes summary, qualifications, duties, work schedule, etc. We need to use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections with real specific content. The posting includes summary (maybe "About the role"), duties (Responsibilities), qualifications (Qualifications), maybe skills (Preferred Experience?), schedule (Work Schedule). Benefits, Pay not present, so omit. Also maybe "Requirements" could be basic requirements? But we have Qualifications section covering basic requirements etc. We could combine Requirements and Qualifications? The instruction: use headings for those labels if content exists. We'll create sections: About the role (summary), Responsibilities (duties), Qualifications (basic requirements + experience/education + grade determinations + preferred experience), Skills (maybe preferred experience? Could treat as Skills). Schedule (work schedule). We must not repeat job title as heading. No metadata like Job ID. Remove boilerplate. We need to preserve all substantive information. Must not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Ensure we don't create empty sections. We'll produce HTML with

and then content:

for prose,

• for lists. We need to extract details. Summary paragraph: "The Prosthetic Representative (Assistant Chief) for the Veterans Healthcare System of the Ozarks is fully responsible for sharing full responsibility with the Chief for directing - supervising - and managing all phases of the prosthetic service operations. This individual serves as Chief of the service in the Chief's absence. The VHSO has active specialty services including Spinal Cord Injury - Home Based Primary Care - Low Vision services - and Prosthetic Implants." We'll put that in About the role

  . Responsibilities: list of duties from "Duties of the Prosthetic Representative (Assistant Chief) include - but are not limited to:" then many bullet-like sentences separated by periods. We need to convert to

  • . Each duty is a sentence. We'll split by sentences that start with a capital letter after a period? Might be easier to treat each line after colon as separate bullet. The text: "Manages procurement and contracting for the VHSO Prosthetic Program to include - distributing national prosthetic contract requirements and guidelines as part of the National Prosthetics Clinical Management Program (PCMP) to staff - reviewing PCMP contract compliance - ensuring usage of Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) contracts - and VISN 16 contracts and blanket purchasing agreements (BPA) - preparing procurement requests - evaluating proposals for work - acting as a COR for procurements and VISN 16 contracts - and/or maintaining procurement and contracting recordsReviews contracting and procurement for small procurements that require varying approaches initiation of new ideas and demonstrated resourcefulnessInitiates and prepares contracts to secure adequate resources to facilitate operations to include determining appropriate costs - performs costs analyses - and communicates both orally and in writing with contractorsIncumbent exercises authorizations for obligation and expenditures of fundsContributes to developing an annual specific-purpose budget for the Prosthetics and Sensory Aids Service by evaluating financial trends - ensuring compliance with agency guidance - and executing the budget on a facility program levelCoordinates budget and planning processes in order to inform upper management on key issues - which impacts agency processes and decision-making and future facility budget planningGathers information for programs and reviews budget formulations and workload analysis submissionsMonitors budget allocation and execution to ensure that operating program objectives are metPerforms in-depth - rigorous analysis of budget requests by employing techniques such as cost benefit analysis - program trade-offs - and exploring alternative methods of fundingMonitors the use and rate of expenditure of budgeted funds through continuing dialogue with facility administrative and clinical staff - review of written documents - and examination of obligations and expense totalsDetermines the service's personnel requirements and controlling expendituresDetermines resource requirements and recommends resource allocations based on priorities and needsFollows the network business plan through the coordination and cooperation of the facility's prosthetic program and ensures that the functions - abilities - and plans link to and effectively supports VHA - Network - VHSO and VISN 16 Prosthetics initiatives - goals - plans - programs - and achievements with internal and external stakeholdersEnsure that objective requirements of Public Law 104-262 (Provision of Prosthetic Services) and Public Law 107-135 to maintain capacity to provide for the specialized treatment and rehabilitative needs of disabled Veterans (including spinal cord dysfunction - blindness - amputations - and mental illness) are metParticipates in national initiatives - intra-agency workgroups and/or committeesAssists in the drafting and/or recommending national policies or directivesWorks with facility to develop policy - SOP's - and memorandums that align with national policies and directivesSeeks best practices from other VHA facilities to enhance PSAS's program to meet Veteran's needsDevelops functional statements - performance standards and competenciesHandles administrative matters pertinent to all issues related to the facilities Prosthetic ProgramPrepares specific instructions for ongoing operations and/or implements policies designated by higher-level personnelServes on or chairs various committees such as the Home Oxygen Committee - or any others as assigned by the Medical CenterEnsures compliance with Joint Commission Home Care and hospital standards and other regulations governing this functionworks closely with oxygen and medical equipment companies to assure maximum delivery of their services and compliance to their contractscoordinates quality assurance monitoring of this equipment program and represents program to Joint Commission and VA audit teamsFurthering the goals of equal employment opportunity by taking positive steps to assure the accomplishment of affirmative action objectives and by adhering to nondiscriminatory employment practices in regard to race - color - religion - sex - national origin - age - or handicap" That's a long paragraph with many clauses separated by hyphens and periods. We need to split into sensible bullet points. Could keep as one paragraph? But instruction: Use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The duties are a list; we should break them into items. We can approximate by splitting at each sentence that starts with a capital letter after a period. Let's try to identify sentences: 1. Manages procurement and contracting for the VHSO Prosthetic Program to include - distributing national prosthetic contract requirements and guidelines as part of the National Prosthetics Clinical Management Program (PCMP) to staff - reviewing PCMP contract compliance - ensuring usage of Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) contracts - and VISN 16 contracts and blanket purchasing agreements (BPA) - preparing procurement requests - evaluating proposals for work - acting as a COR for procurements and VISN 16 contracts - and/or maintaining procurement and contracting records 2.

Furthering the goals of equal employment opportunity by taking positive steps to assure the accomplishment of affirmative action objectives and by adhering to nondiscriminatory employment practices in regard to race - color - religion - sex - national origin - age - or handicap We need to keep the content exactly; we can keep hyphens etc. Now Qualifications section: includes Basic Requirements (citizenship, English proficiency), Experience and Education (options), Grade Determinations (GS-12 requirements), Preferred Experience list. We should structure as maybe sub-sections? But we only have heading Qualifications; inside we can have paragraphs and lists. We need to preserve all substantive info. We'll create

      for prose and

      • for lists. Basic Requirements: list items: United States Citizenship: Non-citizens may only be appointed when it is not possible to recruit qualified citizens in accordance with VA Policy; English Language Proficiency: Candidates will not be appointed under authority of 38 U.S.C. chapters 73 or 74 - to serve in a direct patient-care capacity in VHA who are not proficient in written and spoken English; See Chapter 2 - section D - paragraph 5a - this part (maybe keep as sentence). We'll keep as list. Experience and Education: Individual must meet at least one of the requirements below. Then Experience: one year of creditable experience that demonstrates: list of items. Then Education: A bachelor's degree ... and at least 24 semester hours ... list of fields. Then Experience/Education Combination: Equivalent combinations... Foreign Education: To be creditable... May qualify based on being covered by the Grandfathering Provision...

Preferred Experience: list of items. We'll put all that under Qualifications heading. Skills section: maybe we could put Preferred Experience as Skills? But we already have Preferred Experience under Qualifications. Could create Skills heading for Preferred Experience? The instruction: use headings for Skills if content exists. We could treat Preferred Experience as Skills. But we already have Qualifications covering experience/education etc. Might be better to have Skills heading for Preferred Experience. However we must not duplicate content. We could split Qualifications into Basic Requirements, Experience/Education, Grade Determinations,
