Medical Treatment Facility Staffing Loss Effect Estimation Model During Deployment of a Hospital Ship (T-AH)
Abstract
Whether for disaster relief, humanitarian assistance or war, activation of a large operational platform takes many active duty military personnel away from their peacetime positions at military health care treatment facilities. An activation order may include multiple platforms, and may allow the facility only a few days notice. The larger the hospital and the more numerous the platform requirements, the more difficult it becomes to assess the loss of those personnel from the facility. In that short time, a plan to redistribute remaining staff needs to be produced so that the facility may best continue to serve the beneficiaries and avoid the cost of sending obligated services to the civilian sector at retail prices. The development and use of a database driven tool that helps create just such a plan for the Navy's largest military treatment facility, Naval Medical Center San Diego, California, is examined in this paper.
