Assessment of the Appropriateness of Inpatient Mental Health Services at Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton Given the Global War on Terrorism Environment
Abstract
This GMP assessed the appropriateness of establishing inpatient mental health services at NHCP given the increased combat exposure to armed forces during the GWOT. To complete this study, both quantitative and qualitative information were employed in a Business Case Analysis. Hart and Connors' Resourcing Decision Model was utilized to assess if the proposal made good business sense and if it was the right thing for the patient. Quantitative results were a FY 2006 net investment of $1,362,000.00, a cost avoidance of $1,054,800.00, a net loss of $307,200.00 and a ROI of -23%. The cumulative net investment in FY 2011 is $6,823,800.00, a cost avoidance of $6,416,100.00, a net loss of $407,700.00 and a ROI of -6%. Qualitative results indicate that NHCP could provide a superb patient care environment, however the actual quality of care that would be rendered is a projection. It is recommended based on the financial results and current adequate arrangements for providing inpatient mental health services that such care should not be provided at Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton.
