Overseas Medical Screening
Abstract
This study analyizes the performance of the Navy's Overseas Medical Screening process in regards to the European Theater. The data reviewed are from personel early returned due to a medical condition, repetive medivacs for the same condition, and medical board proceedings to determine whether personel and their dependants are transfering with conditions which existed prior to transfer and would have normally caused their transfer not to occur. The time periods for this study are various between the years 1999 and 2002 due to data availability, and are from U.S. Naval Hospital's Rota, Spain and Naples, Italy. The overseas medical screening process for all three military services are also reviewed as USNH Naples is the primary MTF for the NATO Command, AFSOUTH, which has all three services represented. Literature research was also conducted to determine whether GS CONUS-hired employees must be medically screened prior to transfer overseas. The data collected duing the study also determined whether a negative impact on overseas MTFs is occuring by the quality of GS employee medical screeingn being conducted.
