A Study to Determine the Impact of Medical Readiness Programs on Fiscal Year 1987 Resource Utilization at Tripler Army Medical Center
Abstract
The two reasons for conducting this study are: first, to validate the data reported in the Medical Expense and Performance Report for FY 1987, and, the second reason is to provide a developmental framework for future operating budget recommendations. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of medical readiness programs on Fiscal Year 1987 resource utilization at Tripler Army Medical Center. During FY 87 medical readiness programs at Tripler Army Medical Center consumed a total of 58,444.5 man-hours (29 FTEs) and $15,639 of Operations and Maintenance, Army (OMA) funds in direct cost. Readiness planning and administrative activities consumed 15,111 man-hours ($2,902), readiness exercises consumed 3197.5 man-hours ($8,311), readiness training consumed 24,281 man-hours ($3200), personnel deployments consumed 4968 man-hours, logistics readiness consumed 7600 man-hours, and physical training 3287 man-hours. Additionally, physical personnel deployment cost TAMC 433 potential outpatient appointments or 130 medical care composite units (MCCUs) during Fiscal Year 1987. This resulted in a loss of $20,409 in potential supply dollar reimbursements.
