Abstract
Abstract : This research study addresses the question of whether Military Health System (MHS) beneficiaries are receiving quality medical/health care. Given the emphasis on accountability in all sectors of health care it looks at the overall MHS quality improvement/management (QI/QM) program, including: Current areas of focus for the MHS. The effectiveness of DOD public affairs efforts to communicate the quality of care received by MHS beneficiaries. MHS versus civilian sector qualifications and licensure standards for physicians, nurses, and other providers. MHS versus civilian sector education standards for physicians, nurses, and other providers. MHS versus civilian sector malpractice incidence, reporting and other issues. Objective indicators of quality within the MHS. Examples of popular media reporting about the MHS and the issues above, The study concludes that most MHS beneficiaries are satisfied with the quality of care they receive, perhaps more so than their counterparts in civilian HMOs; and that the MHS is more similar to than different from the civilian health system.
