Implications For The Military Health Care System in Utilizing Non- Physician Providers. Part I. The Cost Implications

Abstract

This study attempts to present a historical perspective of the factors leading to the development of these concepts, within both the civilian and military health care sectors. Once this background is developed, a description of the current personnel resources of the Military Health Care System is presented. Given this information, the study then places its major emphasis on the cost implications for the Military Health Care System in utilizing these non-physician providers. The study identifies four major cost elements; salary, overhead, training, and supervision. These and other factors are reviewed and analyzed as to their implications for the Military Health Care System.
