A Model for Implementation of Integrated Life Cycle Management for Preventive Medicine in the Air Force
Abstract
Requirements and demands for health care services that classically are either primary prevention, screening tools, and/or fall outside the traditional domain of hospital centered services have escalated. Mechanisms for delivery of these services are fragmented. Methods to ensure successful delivery of these services are not well integrated. And, the actual impact of these medical intervention programs on an individual's health status or military unit's readiness is not well quantified. We recommend that an integrated management program for Preventive Services be established to accomplish specific functions: (a) identify cognizant authority and responsibility to direct resources; (b) provide technical guidance to define problems, guide implementation of new programs, and measure health outcomes in defined military populations; and (c) define requirements and advocate for resources needed at the operational wing level.
