Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report documents research on the organization of the Military Health System (MHS). This research was initiated as part of a larger project to assess the organization and cost of the Department of Defense's TRICARE health benefits program. A focus of this initial work was identifying organizational models in the civilian managed- care sector that might be applied to TRICARE. Subsequently, the research expanded when the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2000 requested a study of the expansion of joint medical operations, including an assessment of the merits and feasibility of establishing a joint command. Responding to this request required further investigation of medical readiness and joint organizations and the development of alternative joint-command structures. This report should be of interest to those in the Congress, the Department of Defense, and elsewhere who are interested in the Military Health System. Portions of this report may also interest those concerned about the design of health-care organizations, especially in the public sector.

Book excerpt: Since the end of World War II, the issue of whether to create a unified military health system has arisen repeatdly. Some observers have suggested that a joint organization could potentially lead to reduced costs, better integrated health care delivery. a more efficient administrative process, and improved readiness. A recent RAND study done for the Under Secretary of Defense (Personnel and Readiness) developed organizational alternatives for the military health system and outlined trade-offs inherent in choosing among them. This analysis as reported in Reorganizing the Military Health System: Should there be a Joint Command? by Susan D. Hosek and Gary Cecchine concluded that careful consideration should be given to reorganizing TRICARE, the military's health care program for active and retired military members and their families, but that the additional benefits of a joint command are more difficult to assess.

This book was released on 2013-03-21 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

This book was released on 1971 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reorganization of the base-level health care system to take advantage of the proposed innovations is discussed. Many of the changes--particularly those concerned with ambulatory care and light care--require changes in organization at least as much as they require changes in facilities or equipment. The same might be said of the introduction of computer systems, which is one of the matters discussed in connection with changes in hospital services. Here various kinds of automation and streamlining of clinical laboratory, food service, patient monitoring, physical examination facilities, nursing care, pharmacy, and materials handling are reviewed.

This book was released on 2019-10-25 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. military has been continuously engaged in foreign conflicts for over two decades. The strains that these deployments, the associated increases in operational tempo, and the general challenges of military life affect not only service members but also the people who depend on them and who support them as they support the nation â€" their families. Family members provide support to service members while they serve or when they have difficulties; family problems can interfere with the ability of service members to deploy or remain in theater; and family members are central influences on whether members continue to serve. In addition, rising family diversity and complexity will likely increase the difficulty of creating military policies, programs and practices that adequately support families in the performance of military duties. Strengthening the Military Family Readiness System for a Changing American Society examines the challenges and opportunities facing military families and what is known about effective strategies for supporting and protecting military children and families, as well as lessons to be learned from these experiences. This report offers recommendations regarding what is needed to strengthen the support system for military families.
