2Critical Decision Making for Medical Executives: Keys to Improving Healthcare Delivery
Goals for our four hours together• Obtain your agreement that:
– There is a compelling need to change– The MHS is performance based organization but, it could
function much better– We need a practical, actionable, MHS Strategic Plan
understood and embraced by everyone
• Help you see the similarity between clinical diagnosis and treatment planning and MTF business planning so you can feel more comfortable in building your annual plans
• Have you recognize how you support the outcomes desired by the MHS through specific and measurable actions at your MTF and have you commit to spreading that knowledge within your work area

Bottom Line
We must master diagnosis and effective, compassionate care for TBI and PTSD
6Critical Decision Making for Medical Executives: Keys to Improving Healthcare Delivery
The Case for Change: The Rate of Increase in DoD Health Care Expenditures is Unsustainable – We need to
find a way to manage health care expenditures more effectively.

Actual Projection
Source: Congressional Budget Office (2004); OSD (2005)
(Billions of 2005 dollars) DoD 2005 Projection
• Health budget rising rapidly: $18B-2001, $36B-2005, $50B by 2010-2011 (est.)
• Due to new benefits (TRICARE For Life for over 65 population), very rich benefit with insufficient cost shares or indexes, Congressional expansions (TRICARE For Reserves), retirees under 65 opting for TRICARE vs. employer plans
• Aggressive effort to manage costs—New TRICARE private sector contracts ($45B over 5 years), pharmacy formulary, pharmacy federal prices, closure/merger of military hospitals, improved business practices.
• Required—Benefit structure adjustments, to include indexed premiums/co-pays for long term control of cost growth; Health Savings Accounts must also be pursued.
7Critical Decision Making for Medical Executives: Keys to Improving Healthcare Delivery
The Case For Change – Because we are not functioning as a health care system with
effective processes, we are failing to achieve quality outcomes
• Care costs are unevenly distributed– The top 1% of population spends 35% of health dollars– 50% of population spends only 3% of health dollars– Chronic disease states drive 70% of all health spending
• Care linkage deficiencies abound– Paper records don’t facilitate communication or identification of best
practices– Care silos abound
• Economic incentives significantly influence health care– RVU reimbursement scale drives unhealthy behavior– We do not reimburse for coordination of care or outcomes
• Systems thinking is almost never on the health care radar screen– Thinking is focused almost entirely on single care units– Comparative and concurrent data are not part of the American health
care culture• We have to be agile but our bureaucracy holds us back
8Critical Decision Making for Medical Executives: Keys to Improving Healthcare Delivery
Our Quality Focus: Managing and Preventing Chronic Diseases
• MHS Imperatives– PTSD– TBI
US Healthcare Imperatives– Congestive Heart Failure– Asthma– Diabetes– Coronary Artery Disease– Depression
• Then why are we spending so much effort on obesity, activity, alcohol use and tobacco use?
9Critical Decision Making for Medical Executives: Keys to Improving Healthcare Delivery
What do we need to do?• Support the Warfighters during the long war
and support the Military Strategy– Fit, healthy and protected force– Casualty care and humanitarian assistance
AND
• Create Healthy Individuals, Families, and Communities– Manage chronic diseases in a systematic manner– Prevent them from occurring in the first place

– Employer of choice – (staff)– Provider of choice – (customers)– Best value for investors (stakeholders)
• What is required to create a high performance organization:– A strategic plan that describes how value is created for each of the
three groups above– Business plans for each business unit that link with the strategic plan– Well understood objective measures of success and targets for
accountability– A workforce provided with incentives and tools to innovate (including
continuous process improvement)
