A Study of the Cost Savings Potential of the Military - Civilian Health Services Partnership Program in the Nuclear Medicine and Radioimmunoassay Services at Ireland Army Community Hospital, Fort Knox, Kentucky

Abstract

Using workload data for Calendar Year 1987, a cost savings analysis was performed on the following three options (involving the Nuclear Medicine Department at Ireland Army Community Hospital); (1) Elimination of Radioimmunoassay Internal Service, (2) Civilian Military Health Service Partnership Program and (3) Fixed price contract for Nuclear Medicine Services. This study revealed the Civilian-Military Health Services Partnership Program would potentially generate the greatest cost savings and recommended that it be implemented in other areas throughout the Army Medical Department. Keywords: Lost savings; Nuclear medicine; Ireland Army Community Hospital; Civilian- military health savings partnership.
