Joint Healthcare Manpower Standards (JHMS)
Abstract
The purpose of this Standard is to ensure that the peacetime staffing requirements of the Military Health Services System (MHSS) provide quality medical care in a productive environment'. The Joint Healthcare Manpower Standards (JHMS) provide the Department of Defense and the MHSS with a uniform system for determining peacetime healthcare manpower requirements for operation of fixed military medical treatment facilities. The primary objectives of the JHMS are as follows: (1) Provide military healthcare management with a uniform process for determining requirements and applying military treatment facility staffing standards; (2) Provide guidance for determining demand on work centers and for ensuring appropriate performance levels, staffing sequences, and other workload factors are employed in satisfying workload; (3) Provide a means of identifying unique facility and system healthcare manpower requirements; (4) Provide actual and potential areas of interservice support of healthcare workload; and (5) Provide a method for forecasting healthcare manpower requirements based on mission and/or service population changes.
