An Analysis of Navy Outpatient Morbidity Reporting
Abstract
Navy-wide outpatient morbidity information is currently captured through the use of the Medical Services and Outpatient Morbidity Report. This report is prepared by all ships and stations of the Navy and Marine Corps staffed with Medical personnel, providing inpatient and/or outpatient care. These reports are used in the preparation of budget estimates, in programming, in analysis of personnel authorizations and requirements, in determining the size of replacements or additions to existing facilities, and in the evaluation of selected morbidity levels. They also provide a method for directing and measuring the results of preventative medicine programs. This report describes the Navy Medical Services and Outpatient Morbidity Reporting System and presents an alternative system utilizing an updated Medical Encounter Report designed with input from the Medical Doctrine Center and analyses of injury and illness data collected during these earlier studies.
