To Validate Resource Utilization of a Military Family Health Center

Abstract

This graduate management project validates resource utilization of the new Military Family Health Center (MFHC) at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, using the healthcare simulation software MedModel (Registered). Overall, utilization of resources in the MFHC ranged from less than a percent to 80 percent. The utilization of the primary care providers ranged from six percent to 80 percent and the utilization of the remaining support staff in the MFHC ranged from less than a percent to 65 percent. In consultation with the staff of MedModel (Registered), utilization rates of at least 65 to 75 percent are optimum.
