Abstract
One of the Department of Defense's initiatives to contain costs of the Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Uniformed Services is the Catchment Area Management (CAM) Demonstration Project. CAM's fundamental coordinated care concept is to contain the military's health care costs by granting the military treatment facility (MTF) commander full clinical and fiscal responsibility for the health care of all beneficiaries within the MTF's catchment area. This article describes the CAM Demonstration Project at Fort Sill during its developmental and implementation phase from June 1989 to April 1991. The six operational goals of the CAM Project are identified and discussed. Additionally, nine essential lessons learned are briefly reviewed.
