Abstract

Ensuring that service members who receive behavioral health (BH) care receive routine readiness assessments is critical to maintaining a ready military force. Routine assessments of service members' medical readiness and deployability help identify any acute or chronic health conditions-physical or psychological-that could negatively affect a service member's ability to perform their military duties. Service members may receive BH care from a military treatment facility (MTF) provider (often referred to as direct care) or from a TRICARE-contracted civilian provider in the community (often referred to as private-sector care). While readiness assessments are routinely included in clinical encounters at MTFs, it has been unclear how readiness assessments are being conducted for service members seen in private-sector care. This study presents the findings and integration of two analyses-of administrative treatment data and of qualitative interviews with MTF administrators and clinical staff-that can inform policymaking and planning to improve readiness assessments and command communication for service members receiving private-sector BH care.

评估接受私营部门行为保健服务的服务人员的准备情况。
确保接受行为健康(BH)护理的服务人员接受常规战备评估对于维持一支随时待命的军队至关重要。对服役人员的医疗准备和部署能力进行例行评估,有助于确定任何可能对服役人员履行军事职责的能力产生负面影响的急性或慢性健康状况——身体上或心理上的。服务人员可以从军事治疗设施(MTF)提供者(通常称为直接护理)或从tricare合同的社区民间提供者(通常称为私营部门护理)获得BH护理。虽然战备状态评估通常包括在mtf的临床接触中,但目前尚不清楚如何对私营部门护理的服务人员进行战备状态评估。本研究提出了对行政治疗数据和对MTF管理人员和临床工作人员的定性访谈两项分析的结果和整合,可以为政策制定和计划提供信息,以改善接受私营部门BH护理的服务人员的准备情况评估和指挥沟通。
