Download or read book Growth in medical spending by the Department of Defense written by Allison Percy and published by Congressional Budget Office. This book was released on 2003 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A CBO Study. Examines reasons for the increase in spending on medical care by the Department of Defense from fiscal years 1998-2003. Also considers directions in future medical spending. From fiscal year 1988 to 2003, the Department of Defense’s (DoD’s) spending on medical care almost doubled in real terms. That growth occurred despite large reductions in the size of the active-duty military force and a substantial reduction in the size of the military’s own hospital system. This Congressional Budget Office (CBO) study—prepared at the request of the Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee—examines the reasons for those increases and considers directions for the future. Already, DoD’s total spending on health care is more than half as large as its cash compensation. Looking forward, CBO’s analysis examines how overall growth of health care costs in the economy could affect DoD’s health care costs through 2020, as well how changes in benefits could do so.

Book excerpt: The anthrax incidents following the 9/11 terrorist attacks put the spotlight on the nation's public health agencies, placing it under an unprecedented scrutiny that added new dimensions to the complex issues considered in this report. The Future of the Public's Health in the 21st Century reaffirms the vision of Healthy People 2010, and outlines a systems approach to assuring the nation's health in practice, research, and policy.

Focusing on diverse partnerships as the framework for public health, the book discusses: The need for a shift from an individual to a population-based approach in practice, research, policy, and community engagement. The status of the governmental public health infrastructure and what needs to be improved, including its interface with the health care delivery system. The roles nongovernment actors, such as academia, business, local communities and the media can play in creating a healthy nation. Providing an accessible analysis, this book will be important to public health policy-makers and practitioners, business and community leaders, health advocates, educators and journalists.
Download or read book Evidence Based Medicine and the Changing Nature of Health Care written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2008-09-06 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on the work of the Roundtable on Evidence-Based Medicine, the 2007 IOM Annual Meeting assessed some of the rapidly occurring changes in health care related to new diagnostic and treatment tools, emerging genetic insights, the developments in information technology, and healthcare costs, and discussed the need for a stronger focus on evidence to ensure that the promise of scientific discovery and technological innovation is efficiently captured to provide the right care for the right patient at the right time. As new discoveries continue to expand the universe of medical interventions, treatments, and methods of care, the need for a more systematic approach to evidence development and application becomes increasingly critical. Without better information about the effectiveness of different treatment options, the resulting uncertainty can lead to the delivery of services that may be unnecessary, unproven, or even harmful. Improving the evidence-base for medicine holds great potential to increase the quality and efficiency of medical care. The Annual Meeting, held on October 8, 2007, brought together many of the nation's leading authorities on various aspects of the issues - both challenges and opportunities - to present their perspectives and engage in discussion with the IOM membership.

Download or read book Defense Health Care Costs Strategic Implications written by and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an ideal world, the National Security Strategy (NSS) drives the National Military Strategy (NMS), the Joint Strategic Capabilities Plan, the Defense and Contingency Planning Guidance, and ultimately the Future Years Defense Program (FYDP) budgetary request to Congress. If resources are unlimited, all aspects of NMS and NSS goals are theoretically achievable. In reality, resource constraints limit the FYDP and hence achievable strategic goals. This forces the US to prioritize national interests, selecting some to pursue and some to abandon. Resource allocation (spending) is strategic. In our open democratic process, regional or special interest groups can force allocation of resources to goals not necessarily of the highest global priority. Actions by the Defense Department may facilitate action by special interest groups, producing a significant reallocation of defense resources. Ideally, the Defense Department recognizes this possibility when it makes decisions, makes allowances for the possible outcomes, and ultimately makes an informed decision on the wisdom of a particular action and its present and future impact on our NSS. Unfortunately, the Defense Department is not always sufficiently prescient in its appreciation of the consequences of its actions. This report reviews one such instance, the promise of free medical care for life, and its potential impact on future resource allocation. This case study also demonstrates the intricate interplay of political and legal systems on resource allocation and, by extension, on NMS and NSS.
