What Resources are Required to Provide Full Service Obstetric and Gynecologic Care to DoD Employees and their Families on the Korean Peninsula?

Abstract

The Purpose of this Graduate Management Project is to identify the obstetric/gynecologic (OB/GYN) resource requirements to meet the needs of all Department of Defense (DoD) employees and their family members on the Korean Peninsula. The unique environment in Korea presents several challenges to the Military Health System for providing OB/GYN care. The study uses both quantitative and qualitative analysis. The quantitative analysis measured staffing, productivity, and access to care. Results of the quantitative analysis indicated the need for additional support staff. The qualitative study was used to verify and/or identify any additional requirements. Results of the qualitative analysis indicated that there was a need to increase the availability of prenatal care, increase the amount of appropriate support staff, and provide a more robust Storknest program.
