Evaluation of Access and Quality of Health Care Under the TRICARE Program

Abstract

The FY 2000 evaluation of the TRICARE was performed jointly by the CNA Corporation and the Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA) for the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs). The objectives of the evaluation were to assess: (1) the effectiveness of the TRICARE program in improving beneficiaries' access to Health care, (2) the impact of TRICARE on the quality of health care received by Military Health System (MHS) beneficiaries, and (3) the effect of TRICARE on health care costs to both the government and MHS beneficiaries. This document represents the Center of Naval Analyses' contribution of the TRICARE Program, FY 2000 Report to Congress. The full report also included IDA's evaluation of the costs to the government and beneficiaries. The TRICARE evaluation project is an ongoing effort that provides an annual report to the Congress as the program matures.
