Health Research for Improved Medical Readiness and Healthcare Delivery
Abstract
The objective of Health Services Research is to build capacity to conduct health services research (HSR) within the MHS. The program will address the lack of system-wide health care evidence to support policy and decision making and insufficient health services research capability to analyze MHS data for improving medical readiness and efficient, effective, quality and safe healthcare. Global Health Engagement (GHE) research is related to operational efforts and advanced technology development efforts that will meet the needs of the Joint Force in either improving the understanding and/or execution of DoD GHE, or utilizing DoD health research activities to engage a partner nation/partner nations in support of Theater Campaign Plan objectives to further research. The GHE research needs of the warfighter are expressed by the regular demand signal of the Joint Force through the Joint Staff Surgeon’s Office and the Combatant Commands Surgeons’ Offices. Precision Medicine will provide standardized genome profiling services across the MHS. It will provide genomic data analysis and storage under DoD security and privacy compliance policies in order to provide cutting edge genomic information to clinicians and improve health care of warfighter. The military Women’s Health research program mission is to develop and guide best practices for the clinical care of women in the military system, through medical research. This research program will identify priorities that utilize novel and well-defined methods in the areas of personalized medicine and population science and focuses on basic, clinical and translational research. Infectious Disease Clinical Research is multicenter infectious diseases clinical research focusing on high-impact cohorts and interventional trials, to inform and improve care of the Warfighter. The focus is on emerging infections, antimicrobial resistance, and other high priority infections impacting military readiness in US and abroad. It also will generate research evidence to inform warfighter care, develop DoD clinical practice guidance, assess cost effectiveness of interventions, and assist force health protection policy development.
