Demand Management and Darnall Army Community Hospital - A Methodology for Implementation of Putting Prevention into Practice

Abstract

The Military Health System (MHS) is the largest managed care organization in the world. As such, the MHS is examining the way it provides health care to its beneficiaries with an eye towards reducing costs while at the same time improving both quality and access. One of the new ideas that resulted from this examination was the Putting Prevention into Practice (PPIP) program. The Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense Health Affairs (OSDHA) directed all military treatment facilities would implement, in some fashion, PPIP by 1 April 1999. However, OSDHA did not make additional funding available to meet this requirement. Medical Centers and Activities were required to develop their own internal implementation plan based upon their individual capabilities. This project sets forth the implementation plan to be used for Darnall Army Community Hospital.
