Management Strategies to Ensure Successful Adaptation to Enrollment Based Capitation Budgeting Methodology at Mach
Abstract
The objective of this research project is to explore the various management strategies that may be implemented to facilitate the transition to an Enrollment Based Capitation (EBC) budgeting methodology at Moncrief Army Community Hospital (MACH) Fort Jackson, South Carolina. The methodology used for this project was to review a variety of the significant systems and practices currently being employed at MACH, predict the impact of these systems during the transition to EBC, and recommend any appropriate modifications to facilitate the transition to EBC. This project addresses the current historical based budgeting process and contrasts it to the Enrollment Based Capitation budget process proposed by the Department of Defense Health Program. This comparison was made to demonstrated those practices under historical based budgeting that will adversely effect the outcomes of EBC. The significant management strategies are derived from various programs currently in place at MACH. The results of the project are recommendations for the MACH to consider in order to ensure success during the turbulent transition period. The recommendations are correlated to marketing, the importance of information systems, utilization management, reorganization, accuracy of data input, and efficiency of services provided.
