A Proposed Conceptual Model of Military Medical Readiness

Abstract

No single accepted definition or uniform framework has ever been offered or suggested defining medical readiness within the Department of Defense. The purpose of this research is to consolidate existing literature on the latent variable of medical readiness, and to propose a composite theoretical model of medical readiness that may provide healthcare professionals a common operating picture for understanding and improving medical readiness. The basis for the proposed conceptual model builds on common and accepted latent variable and theoretical modeling techniques proposed by healthcare scholars, organizational theorists, mathematical methodologists and military leaders. It is the intent of the author that this framework might act as a foundation in describing and presenting future discussion on military medical readiness.
