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 2007 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why GAO Did This Study: The Department of Defense (DOD) operates one of the largest and most complex health systems in the nation and has a dual health care mission -- readiness and benefits. The readiness mission provides medical services and support to the armed forces during military operations. The benefits mission provides health care to over 9 million eligible beneficiaries, including active duty personnel, retirees, and dependents worldwide. Past GAO and other reports have recommended changes to the military health system (MHS) structure. GAO was asked to (1) describe the options for structuring a unified medical command recommended in recent studies by DOD and other organizations and (2) assess the extent to which DOD has identified the potential impact these options would have on the current MHS. GAO analyzed studies and reports prepared by DOD's Joint/Unified Medical Command Working Group, the Defense Business Board, and the Center for Naval Analyses, and interviewed department officials. What GAO Recommends: GAO is recommending that DOD address the expected benefits, costs, and risks for implementing the fourth option and provide Congress the results of its assessment. In commenting on a draft of this report, DOD concurred with GAO's recommendations.

Why buy a book you can download for free? We print the paperback book so you don't have to. First you gotta find a good clean (legible) copy and make sure it's the latest version (not always easy). Some documents found on the web are missing some pages or the image quality is so poor, they are difficult to read. If you find a good copy, you could print it using a network printer you share with 100 other people (typically its either out of paper or toner). If it's just a 10-page document, no problem, but if it's 250-pages, you will need to punch 3 holes in all those pages and put it in a 3-ring binder. Takes at least an hour. It's much more cost-effective to just order the bound paperback from Amazon.com This book includes original commentary which is copyright material. Note that government documents are in the public domain. We print these paperbacks as a service so you don't have to. The books are compact, tightly-bound paperback, full-size (8 1/2 by 11 inches), with large text and glossy covers. 4th Watch Publishing Co. is a HUBZONE SDVOSB. https: //usgovpub.com
