This report assesses, among other things, the extent to which the Study followed an approach that is consistent with relevant generally accepted research standards and utilized key practices for estimating cost savings. GAO compared the Study with generally accepted research standards that were developed by reviewing research literature and DOD guidance and with key practices derived from cost-estimating guidance. "

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the past decade, DOD has been taking actions to reform its health system. The military health system is a massive enterprise charged with maintaining a medically ready force and ready medical personnel. To achieve this mission, DOD estimated it will provide care to approximately 9.6 million beneficiaries at a cost of more than $55.8 billion in fiscal year 2023. This report examines (1) statutory requirements for reform of the military health system that GAO identified within each NDAA for fiscal years 2012 through 2022, and the extent to which DOD has (2) taken actions to address these requirements for military health system reform and assessed the effectiveness of certain reforms, and (3) monitored actions taken in response to the requirements. GAO is making four recommendations, including that DOD finalize implementation plans for the transfers of (1) public health and (2) research and development organizations, and establish a process to monitor actions taken to address statutory requirements for the military health system.

Book excerpt: Problems stemming from the misuse and abuse of alcohol and other drugs are by no means a new phenomenon, although the face of the issues has changed in recent years. National trends indicate substantial increases in the abuse of prescription medications. These increases are particularly prominent within the military, a population that also continues to experience long-standing issues with alcohol abuse. The problem of substance abuse within the military has come under new scrutiny in the context of the two concurrent wars in which the United States has been engaged during the past decade-in Afghanistan (Operation Enduring Freedom) and Iraq (Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation New Dawn). Increasing rates of alcohol and other drug misuse adversely affect military readiness, family readiness, and safety, thereby posing a significant public health problem for the Department of Defense (DoD). To better understand this problem, DoD requested that the Institute of Medicine (IOM) assess the adequacy of current protocols in place across DoD and the different branches of the military pertaining to the prevention, screening, diagnosis, and treatment of substance use disorders (SUDs). Substance Use Disorders in the U.S. Armed Forces reviews the IOM's task of assessing access to SUD care for service members, members of the National Guard and Reserves, and military dependents, as well as the education and credentialing of SUD care providers, and offers specific recommendations to DoD on where and how improvements in these areas could be made.

Book excerpt: To help address DOD's escalating health care costs, in 2013 DOD established the DHA to, among other things, combine common medical services such as medical education and training. DOD trains its servicemembers for a wide variety of medical positions, such as physicians, nurses, therapists, and pharmacists. DHA's Education and Training Directorate is to oversee many aspects of DOD's medical education and training and is now expected to begin operations in August 2014. GAO was mandated to review DOD's efforts to consolidate medical education and training. GAO examined the extent to which DOD has (1) conducted analysis to reform medical education and training to achieve cost savings and (2) determined whether the consolidation of training at METC has resulted in cost savings and designed processes to assess its effectiveness. GAO compared DHA implementation plans and METC budget information from fiscal years 2010 through 2012 with best practices and interviewed officials from the DHA, METC, and military services' Surgeons General offices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Why GAO Did This StudyOver the past decade, the cost of DOD's MHS has increased to almost $50 billion and is expected to double by 2030. Section 731 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 required DOD to provide three submissions detailing its plan to reform its MHS governance structure and also mandated that GAO submit an analysis of DOD's first two submissions. This report addresses the extent to which DOD's March and June 2013 submissions met the statutory requirements and reflect key management practices. GAO compared DOD's submissions for reforming its MHS governance structure with the (1) statutory requirements and (2) key management practices contained in GAO's Business Process Reengineering Assessment Guide and other relevant GAO work. Additionally, GAO interviewed DOD officials from the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs, the MHS Transition Office, and the military services' Surgeons General offices.What GAO RecommendsTo provide decision makers with more complete information on the implementation of DOD's newly created DHA, GAO recommends that DOD develop and present to Congress fully developed performance measures, interim timelines, and staffing baseline assessments, and refined cost savings estimates. In written responses to this report, DOD"

Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed Department of Defense (DOD) changes to the Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Uniformed Services (CHAMPUS). DOD is proposing to change CHAMPUS because of significant cost increases and other problems. GAO found that the objectives of the CHAMPUS reform initiative are to: (1) contain costs; (2) increase beneficiary access to medical care; (3) improve coordination between CHAMPUS and the military treatment facilities; (4) ensure quality care; and (5) simplify administrative procedures by contracting for the processing and payment of medical care claims. As part of the initiative, DOD proposed a new enrollment program to expand benefits and lower costs to beneficiaries willing to obtain medical care from the contractor's network of providers. GAO believes that DOD should resolve key issues before it proceeds with the implementation of the initiative, specifically whether: (1) cost containment can be accomplished within the proposed program structure; (2) contractors will have a financial incentive to provide minimum medical care at the lowest costs; and (3) simplifying CHAMPUS procedures will create problems in program administration.
