The Implication of the EBC Scorecard on the Skills, Roles, and Tools of Navy MTF Comptrollers

Abstract

United States health care system and the Military Health System (MHS) have long been faced with escalating health care cost. Implementing a managed care strategy, a system designed to integrate financing and delivery of appropriate health care services, has been viewed as the answer. As a result of implementing managed care, the MHS has transitioned from a workload-based financing methodology to a capitation methodology. Initially, the MHS implemented "modified capitation" financing. Effective FY-1998, the MHS began phasing-in the latest version of capitation, enrollment-based capitation (EBC). Under EBC, military treatment facility (MTF) Commanders' performance will be tracked and scored on an EBC Scorecard. The purpose of this thesis is to present a baseline assessment, describing new skills, roles and tools which comptrollers of Navy MTF are adopting to improve their MTF's performance under the indices of the EBC Scorecard.
