Where Else Does the Data Point Us? Should We Adopt New Models for On-Base Care? Contractors routinely authorize greater than 20 PT visits per referral What is readiness impact? –Visit cost is modest, but lost work time is significant Purchased Care Direct Care

21 Posing strategic questions: –Alternate delivery and finance models –Leveraging national health reform –Individual choice and financial responsibility –Need for global coverage and products for diverse populations –Rapid adoption of best practices, knowledge management –Scope of benefit, ease of use Ensuring we maintain: –Focus on Quadruple Aim –Patient and family centered care ethos –Robust direct care system for force projection –Coordination of care for individual and family readiness Designing the Way Ahead “T- 4 Study Group”
22
How Can T4 Achieve the Quadruple Aim? 22 Study group assessment: –High quality care reduces cost –High quality care requires systems –Primary care is key to improving quality and cost, but shortage is imminent –Policy makers will resort to price cutting to manage cost if providers do not deliver quality and control cost themselves Four courses of action being examined: –TRICARE (with incremental improvements) –FEHBP / Insurance exchanges / Medicare-like product –MTF-managed regional systems of care –Purchase systems of care from integrated provider groups
