Systems Analysis Study Towards a 'New Generation' of Military Hospitals. Volume 3. Medical Health Care Review

Abstract

The data presented were collected by the Westinghouse Medical Health Care Review Team, composed of physicians, nurses and a hospital administrator, during interviews and observations at the three primary Base Level Health Care Systems (BLHCS). The basic objective of this study was to identify and evaluate the critical elements within the BLHCS which directly or indirectly affect the delivery of professional services. Results of observations/interviews and recommendations are presented for the following five elements basic to effective operation of a BLHCS: The quality of personnel (i.e., qualifications, assignments and continuing education); the facilities (space, beds, special care and diagnostic units and equipment); the professional services (diagnostic, therapeutic and special); policies and practices for basic health services (outpatient and emergency department, admissions, etc.); quality control (tissue and hospital stay committees, death-complication conferences etc.)
