The Development of Medical Readiness

Abstract

The Navy Medical Department is improving its governance structure and implementing broad directional strategies to position itself at a strategic advantage in the development of medical readiness. This is being accomplished by addressing new operational concepts in joint doctrine amid recent outside concerns. In the development of medical readiness, strategic planning is centralizing the planning and decentralizing the execution. However, the medical department must align itself with other governance structures and implement specific adaptive strategies to address objectives mandated by higher authority. Current healthcare re-engineering efforts should be extended to include a strategic analysis implementing specific adaptive strategies. Understanding the current operational concepts and adapting appropriate structures and processes will optimize the development of medical readiness and justify resources for the primary military mission.
