Abstract
Abstract : The U.S. Navy regularly conducts medical stability operations, and augments the existing medical capabilities on an ad hoc basis with the appropriate equipment and supplies to treat various host nation (HN) populations. This article documents the Pacific Partnership 2007 (PP07) stability operation. It emphasizes the Military Health System s need for patient encounter data, which would help to objectively determine appropriate supplies and equipment, and simultaneously provide HNs with more effective medical care. PP07 recorded more than 45,000 patient encounters, trained 5,500 HN students, and provided 1,600 preventive medicine services. The different HNs will experience higher incidences of certain conditions, and these data show a large percentage of patients in the Pacific region present with musculoskeletal, HEENT, respiratory, and skin conditions. Over the long term, patient encounter data collection and analysis may be used to determine the measure of effectiveness of these missions.
