Analysis of Variables Affecting the Length of Time Service Members Spend in the United States Army Physical Disability Evaluation System at Irwin Army Community Hospital

Abstract

The purpose of this analysis is to identify the variables which contribute to the length of time an individual service member remains in the disability review process at Fort Riley, Kansas. Results from this analysis will assist in the development of performance improvement initiatives that maximize the quality of the Army's Physical Disability Evaluation System (PDES). This research project targets the demographic, choice related, and systemic variables affecting the total number of days Fort Riley soldiers were processed and adjudicated by the PDES during 1996.
