A Business Case Analysis on the Feasibility of Recapturing Inpatient Obstetrical Services for Naval Hospital Beaufort

Abstract

The purpose of this Business Case Analysis is to collect and examine data in order to determine whether or not to install Labor, Delivery, Recovery, and Post-Partum (LDRP) suites in the hospital planned for construction in 2011. This paper briefly discusses the local hospital and its impact on surrounding health care facilities, to include Naval Hospital Beaufort. The National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2002 will be examined along with its impact on TRICARE Obstetrical in-patient beneficiaries and their available choices. The author will examine the opportunities to recapture this very important group. The final analysis indicates the need to abandon the plans for LDRP suites and to remain with the status quo, the current External Resource-Sharing Agreement.
