EDUCATIONAL/VOLUNTEER

OPPORTUNITIESGraduate Education and Research

Walter Reed National Military MedicalCenter promotes professional growth anddevelopment of our providers in-trainingin our Graduate Education and Researchprograms by supporting high quality re-search and clinical trials in conjunctionwith some of the world’s finest medicalcenters. Clinical trials usually compare anew and perhaps more promising treat-ment to a standard one and contribute to abetter understanding of the benefits andrisks of comparative therapies. The trialsare helpful in determining whether a treat-ment is better, as good, or not as good as astandard therapy. All research proceduresmust be approved and monitored by theWRNMMC Human Research ProtectionProgram and the relevant Institutional Re-view Boards (IRB) to ensure the responsi-ble conduct of research.

Welcome,The combined projects for the Walter Reed

National Military Medical Center and Fort Belvoir

Community Hospital represent $2.8 billion in

construction and outfitting of over three million

square feet of new and renovated medical and

administrative space. In addition, both campuses

have Warrior Complexes, capable of providing

24 Naval Support Activity Bethesda Guide 2012

The Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC)is the change agent that directed the integra-tion of the Army and the Navy’s two mostprominent hospitals: Walter Reed ArmyMedical Center (WRAMC), and the Nation-al Naval Medical Center (NNMC). Oncemade law, it was evident military medicinein the National Capital Region (NCR) wouldnever be quite the same, and the integrationof these two premier military medical facili-ties would likely be the model for the futureof military medicine.

In September 2007, the Joint Task Force Na-tional Capital Region Medical (JTF CapMed)was established as a fully functional standingtask force, located on the, then, NNMC cam-pus and reporting directly to the Secretary ofDefense through the Deputy Secretary ofDefense. The newly formed Command wascharged with leading the way for the effectiveand efficient consolidation and realignmentof military healthcare in the NCR. Vice Adm.John Mateczun was appointed to lead themission. Having a single leader in charge, al-lows for proper focus on patient care by thehospital Commanders, and allows for BRACplanning by the JTF CapMed Commander.

Mateczun served as Joint Staff Surgeon,Commander of the Medical Center in SanDiego, Chief Operating Officer for NavyMedicine as the Deputy Surgeon General,and also was the Director for the MilitaryHealth System Office of Transformation.

Mission: “We will deliver integrated health-care in the NCR, ensure readiness, and exe-cute the BRAC business plan to achieve thevision.”

To accomplish this unified medical mission,the medical services of the Army, Navy, andAir Force in the NCR will integrate to ensurethe best utilization of resources available.This will eliminate redundancies, enhanceclinical care, promote health profession edu-cation and joint training, and enhance mili-tary medical research opportunities. This in-tegration also furthers the growth of trans-formative efforts with government, commu-nity and private sector partners.

Region Medical (JTF CapMed) is leadingthe Department of Defense’s efforts fortransforming military health care in the Na-tional Capital Region (NCR). JTF CapMedwas established to facilitate the developmentof an Integrated Delivery System (IDS) toprovide seamless world class care to benefi-ciaries in the NCR. Previously, NCR hospi-tals were facility centric and served predomi-nantly single Service populations. The NCRIDS provides the DoD the unique opportu-nity to achieve an integrated system thatsupports the patient and family from an all-Services perspective.

Two new world-class joint facilities anchorthe effort: Walter Reed National MilitaryMedical Center in Bethesda, and FortBelvoir Community Hospital in Fort Belvoir,Va. The NCR IDS is based on a patient-cen-tric model that brings together the best ofArmy, Navy and Air Force clinical practicesand cultures. By integrating services, capa-bilities, technologies and resources, healthcare services in the National Capital Regionare able to be greater than the sum of theirparts and further expand already world classservices.

Warrior Rehabilitation and Family SupportThe National Capital Region has achievedsignificant advances in support services foramputees, traumatic brain injuries and post-traumatic stress disorders. The National In-trepid Center of Excellence, located on theBethesda campus, provides the most ad-vanced services for diagnostics, initial treat-ment planning and family education, intro-duction to therapeutic modalities, referraland reintegration support for military per-sonnel and veterans with traumatic brain in-juries, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and/orcomplex psychological health issues. TheNICoE also conducts research, tests newprotocols and provides comprehensive train-ing and education to patients, providers andfamilies while maintaining ongoing tele-health follow up care throughout the world.

DoD also built new double-occupancy suitesin the region that accommodate a WoundedWarrior and a non-medical attendant. Eachsuite includes two bedrooms with privatebaths and closets, living areas, kitchenettesand laundry facilities so that Wounded War-

riors can transition to a more home-like en-vironment. Facilities like the Military Ad-vanced Training Center, which moved fromthe Walter Reed Army Medical Center to thenew Walter Reed National Military MedicalCenter, continue to help Wounded Warriorsbuild their strength, skills and confidence.

Enhanced Patient Care and New Advanced TechnologyPatients in the National Capital Region ben-efit from the new capabilities, technologiesand services made available by the NCR IDS.Benefits include a centralized appointmentand referral process that eliminates redun-dancies and matches patients quickly with aprimary and/or specialty care provider. TheNCR Medical IDS has three million squarefeet of new and renovated world-class med-ical facilities-new single-patient rooms, op-erating rooms, parking structures, outpa-tient clinics, and patient exam rooms. BothFort Belvoir Community Hospital and Wal-ter Reed National Military Medical Centeruse evidence-based design principles to de-crease patient stress, increase social support,provide ample light, improve privacy andimprove sleep and rest.

Also, the Walter National Military MedicalCenter Comprehensive Cancer Center is theonly peer-partner-in-care center with the National Cancer Institute in addition to becoming a National Cancer Institute-desig-nated Comprehensive Cancer Center. Thiscenter provides patients with the most effec-tive approaches to cancer prevention, diagno-sis and treatment. It includes new and en-hanced services including gynecological, pros-trate, breast, medical and surgical oncology.

Our Pledge to YOU, Our Patients:Military health care professionals are filling awide range of roles – demonstrating courage,compassion, ingenuity, and excellence. Thestaff members of the JTF, and of the MilitaryHealth Care Treatment Facilities throughoutthe NCR, both military and civilian, pledge toyou, active duty service members; your fami-lies; retired service members and all eligiblebeneficiaries, our sincerest commitment thatyou will receive the highest quality of careduring this exciting evolution.

WALTER REED BETHESDA:

AN HISTORIC ACCOUNTWalter Reed National Military MedicalCenter (WRNMMC) at Bethesda was offi-cially dedicated Nov. 10, 2011 during a cer-emony officiated by The Honorable Secre-tary of Defense Leon Panetta. It is the re-sult of the merger of two of the most dis-tinguished military medical centers in his-tory, Walter Reed Army Medical Center(WRAMC) and the National Naval MedicalCenter (NNMC). The merger resulted inthe creation of the world largest militaryhospital with more than 2.4 million sq. ft.of clinical space, providing care to about amillion beneficiaries per year.

WRAMC first opened its doors on May 1,1909 in Washington, D.C. It was namedafter the famed Army physician and re-searcher who led the team that confirmedthe theory yellow fever is transmitted by aparticular mosquito species.

The site for NNMC, and the original mainhospital, were selected and designed byPresident Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1938. Itwas officially dedicated by him on Aug. 31,1942.

In their illustrious histories, both WRAMCand NNMC staff treated U.S. presidents,members of Congress, cabinet officials,world leaders, in addition to top militaryleaders.

On May 13, 2005, the Base Realignmentand Closure (BRAC) list was released bythe Department of Defense calling forWRAMC and NNMC to merge to formWRNMMC, creating a modernized world-class joint-forces medical center.

When BRAC 2005 became law on Nov. 9,2005, a core group of driven and deter-mined individuals, both civilians and activeduty members at military treatment facili-ties (MTF) in the National Capital Area,started on an exciting journey together.They met regularly and became the first“change leaders” that this monumental en-deavor required.

Those early meetings, conferences and re-treats set the stage for what the next six

years would bring. When the three leadingMTF flag officers, Maj. Gen. Kenneth L.Farmer, Jr. (now retired), Brig. Gen.Thomas W. Travis (now Maj. Gen.), RearAdm. Adam M. Robinson (now retired viceadmiral), and the President of the Uni-formed Services University, Charles L. Rice,M.D., signed the first Joint Vision State-ment in 2006, we had their wisdom andguidance to begin to create the most far-reaching and exciting partnership in thehistory of military medicine.

Since those early days, we have seen newhardworking groups of dedicated stake-holders such as The Program for Designteam, the Office of Integration Commit-tees, The Med-Cen Integration Teams andthe Deputies for Integration and Transitionlead us in moving the process forward. In2007, we saw the formation of the JointTask Force National Capital Region Med-

ical Command, and in 2008, the compre-hensive Environmental Impact Study wasreleased.

The BRAC/IntegrationJourney Room

On July 3, 2008, the same day as PresidentGeorge W. Bush’s visit to NNMC to offici-ate the groundbreaking of the future hospi-tal, NNMC unveiled the BRAC/ IntegrationJourney Room (BIJR). The room, locatedin the basement of Building 9 next to theExecutive Dining Room, is a repository ofinformation, and a symbolic tour of thevoyage that started in September 2005.

Designed in the form of a “SituationRoom” with three large walls of murals,photographs, charts, and other forms of vi-sual communications depicting the BRAC"journey" from 2005 to 2011, the roomrepresents a timeline of BRAC events andaccomplishments. Much interesting and in-spiring information can be found on thewalls and in reference materials, pho-tographs, handouts with additional datacontained in the BIJR kiosk.

Although there were integrated clinics andmedical staff working together from allbranches of the services before BRAC,"functional integration" of clinics reallyflourished in 2007 and 2008. The "blendedbuildings" was used to represent that al-though still in various and separate loca-tions, the NCA MTFs were working together as a team.

Medical Home (MH) is a term thatrefers to a new approach to healthcare delivery. It is based on the con-

cept that the patient is always at the center ofevery decision made regarding their care. MHpatients receive closer, more personalized carecoordinated with an entire team and have im-proved access to their primary care provider.Patients also have new medical and communi-ty resources at their disposal.

It is our priority that a patient’s PCM remainsthe same as long as he/ she continues to workat WRNMMC. This provides improved conti-nuity of care, and allows the patient and thePCM to develop a closer relationship and part-nership.

The Team Approach MH patients will have an entire team responsi-

ble for their healthcare which includes thePCM, a Registered Nurse (RN), a Licensed Prac-tical Nurse (LPN), and/or a Hospital Corpsman.This team works together to fulfill administra-tive requests, book appointments directly andprovide additional medical services. For urgentissues, a MH patient is able to call and schedulean appointment for that same day. For routineappointments and on-going (chronic) health is-sues, patients can speak to a team member andschedule a timely appointment with the PCMdirectly. A team member will also contact pa-tients directly to ensure that healthcare needsare met.

Specialist care and referrals are made easier be-cause a MH team member will see WRNMMCspecialist appointments are made, and willhelp schedule these services so that the processis made easier for the patient. If referred to the

network, a team member will assist with thereferral and ensure that the results and follow-up are reported directly to the PCM.

WOUNDED WARRIOR

CAREAchieving Excellence in Casualty Care

Today, military medicine is perform-ing around the world, on land, at seaand in the air, saving lives and safely

transporting patients to military emergencycare within minutes of the initial injuryand on to a stateside military treatment fa-cility within 22 hours.

Our patients are transported, from theater,to Joint Base Andrews by the Medical Evac-uation (Med Evac) and the Critical CareAir Transport Team (CCATT). TheCCATT’s mission is to operate an intensivecare unit in an aircraft cabin during flight,adding critical care capability to the U.S.Air Force Aeromedical Evacuation System.CCATT patients have received initial stabi-lization, but are still critically ill or wound-ed. They require evacuation from a less ca-pable, to a more capable hospital and evac-uation from the combat zone.

Medical training in casualty care with high-ly technological and state-of-the-art meansof rescue and resuscitation is surpassinganything thought possible just a fewdecades ago. Hands-on courses in advancedtraining in field medical techniques whiledealing with extreme “simulated” combatscenarios has prepared Army, Navy and AirForce practitioners to care for the most im-portant patients they will ever serve.

Furthermore, an integrated health care sys-tem supports the individual service mem-ber who is returning to the force or transi-tioning to the civilian workplace. Creatinghealing environments that encompass boththe inpatient and outpatient experience isintegral to the renewal of psychological,physical, and spiritual wellness.

Within a framework of patient and family-centered care, a dedicated team of healthcare professionals facilitates a speedy recov-ery of Soldiers, Airmen, Sailors andMarines to productive activities of daily liv-ing through cutting edge technology, evi-dence-based design, innovation, and part-nerships with volunteer agencies.

Many of our wounded heroes transition tothe U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs(VA) for rehabilitative care. To help thisprocess, the VA created a program called“Seamless Transition,” that assigns a VArepresentative to ensure a smooth evolu-tion of medical services. WRNMMC is oneof the few facilities with a representativefrom this program.

Empowering Our Wounded Ill and Injured (WII) Wounded Warrior Care and Transition(WWCT) empowers WII and transitioningservice members and their families by:• Providing Recovery Care Coordinators tohelp WII service members and their fami-lies develop and use a Comprehensive Re-covery Plan and receive the non-medical

40 Naval Support Activity Bethesda Guide 2012

support they need to create the lives they want.• Restructuring the Disability Evaluation System for an equitableand efficient adjudication of benefits from the DoD and VA.• Informing service members, veterans, and families through theNational Resource Directory and eBenefits websites.• Utilizing the Transition Assistance Program to give all servicemembers the tools they need to succeed at home when they have completed their service to our nation.

Amputee Care The high energy delivered by modern weapons can cause extensivesoft-tissue injury and result in wound complications that require alonger time to heal. Battlefield wounds are initially left open be-cause of the high risk of infection. A staged approach to amputa-tion surgery is used to obtain wound closure and a residual limbthat can provide the best function. At WRNMMC, we care for ourwounded warriors until their acute wounds are healed andarrangements for rehabilitation are made at one of our state of theart military Amputee Centers.

WARRIOR FAMILY COORDINATION CELLThe Warrior/Family Coordination Cell (WFCC) provides a com-mand level, centralized, and coordinated operating platform toserve as an interface between NSA Bethesda, WRNMMC, all re-spective services and all entities and organizations that are inte-grated under the WII care umbrella. The objectives of the cell areto leverage efficiencies, minimize redundancies, promote/assistServices and optimize a healing environment for recovering War-riors and Families. Provide a 24/7 operation for Warriors andFamilies, Service Representatives, NSA Bethesda, MTF personneland all benevolent and volunteer organizations to ensure commu-nication, coordination and appropriate facilitation across andamongst all stakeholders. The WFCC is organizationally aligned asa special staff reporting directly to the MTF Commander.
