4 On the Agenda Familiarization with the basics of U.S. health policy Familiarization of health policy within the Military Health System Policy-driven strategy within the MHS 4
5 What is Health Policy? Health policy refers to decisions, plans, and actions that are undertaken to achieve specific health care goals within a society. An explicit health policy can achieve several things: it defines a vision for the future which in turn helps to establish targets and points of reference for the short and medium term. WHO. 5
6 The fundamental question Is health care (or health) an endowed right or an earned privilege? How a country answers this fundamental question drives the foundation of other health policies related to financing, payment, and delivery (Hsaio & Heller, 2007) In the fragmented U.S. system, you actually see both philosophies Right all (of a defined population) are entitled to guaranteed access to the benefit (Medicare, VA) Privilege not everyone is entitled to the benefit (thus, high uninsured rates persist) 6
7 Public Interest Theory of Government If health care is a right, government s role is typically to: 1.Facilitate redistribution to assist the poor 2.Improve the economic efficiency of the delivery method of medical services, minimizing the likelihood of monopoly and adjudicating situations where externalities exist What if a privilege? Tools used to accomplish these objectives include: Taxation (& Tax Credits) Expenditures Regulation Feldstein, P
8 Why is Health Policy Important? Stewardship of Scarce Resources 17.7% GDP 8
9 Why is Health Policy Important? Silo-breaking 2005 Bradley, Elkins, Herrin & Elbel,
10 Why is Health Policy Important? Value 10
11 Why is Health Policy Important? Complexity (Good) Health policy addresses complexity - impacting the systems designed to provide health. Systems thinking is necessary Function follows form Will help to find leverage points for improvement Will help coordinate care and remove silos Comparative effectiveness & variation studies can help make sense of complexity We have high quality components: well trained providers & staff, advanced technology, etc. But It s like we took the world s best and most complicated Lego set and let a small child put it together without the instructions.

19 Who are the MHS stakeholders? Enrollees Beneficiaries Commanders Staff Citizens Congress 19
20 Who Makes Policy for the MHS Secretary of Defense Ultimate Responsibility Proposes Statutes for action by Congress Proposes Regulations for action within DoD Approves Policy for Active Duty Service Members when we want an expanded benefit Secretary of Defense authorized to delegate his authority Did so to ASD(HA) who works for the USD(P&R) 20
21 Statutory and Regulatory Program Chapter 55 of Title who gets benefits 1074 benefits available for ADSMs 1076/1077 what benefits are available in an MTF for ADFMs 1079 what benefits can and can not be purchased for ADFMs 1086 what benefits can and can not be purchased for retirees and their family members What types of plans we can have 21
22 TRICARE Currently have a triple-option benefit Standard Fee for service Extra PPO Prime HMO What if we want to change the entire program and adopt some other organizational structure? 22
23 What makes the MHS different? Medical readiness Deployable medical capability Disaster response Innovations in medical mission support Wounded Warrior care Source: 23
24 The Quadruple Aim Source: 24
25 Why Does the MHS Make Policy? Need (i.e. gap in desired and current situation) identified Keep up with technology, science, medical treatment advances Situational Wounded Warriors need more and different types of care and benefits Lobbyist or others convince Congress we need to provide something, perhaps to someone new National laws also apply to the MHS (ACA, e.g.) (Mandates/directives) Beneficiaries appeal payment denials claiming something is medically necessary 25
26 Longest Model of U.S. Policymaking Longest, B.B. (2009). Health policymaking in the United States. Chicago: HAP. 26
27 Implementation: Tricare for Life Problem (Gap) Existed Solution: Identified & Proposed President: Clinton (Democrat) House & Senate: Republican NDAA
28 Modification: Changing Statutes ULB process - Unified Legislation & Budgeting USD (Personnel & Readiness)-specific: Personnel issues Each Service or Field Activity submits requests Board reviews and votes Secretary makes final decision DoD formally submits to Congress legislation it would like to have Lengthy process sometimes cost cycles are skipped Not useful for more urgent needs 28
29 How Does the MHS Facilitate the Process? Maintain good working relationships with staff for the HASC and SASC They ask for help on items their members want and we provide drafting assistance for them Many times their wants are vague their members want to do something for military members or family Sometimes it is very specific Drafting for HASC and SASC is routine 29
30 Rule Making When do we do rule making: When Congress gives us a new statutory requirement Examples: The smoking cessation statute Cancer prevention screenings for women When directed (Implementation required by a new or modified regulation) Administrative Procedure Act - Notice and comment to the public about what the government intends to do Lengthy in time (12-24 months) 30

47 Supporting Strategic Objectives Seven objectives derived to reflect our joint approach to MHS reforms that ensure military readiness by improving the care and health of our beneficiaries with cost-effective strategies 1. Promote more effective and efficient health care operations through enhanced enterprise-wide shared services 2. Deliver more comprehensive primary care and integrated health services using advanced patient-centered medical homes 3. Coordinate care over time and across treatment settings to improve outcomes in the management of chronic illness, particularly for patients with complex medical and social problems.

48 Objectives (cont.) 4. Establish more inter-service standards/metrics and standardize processes to promote learning and continuous improvement 5. Create enhanced value in military medical markets (emsms) using an integrated approach specified in five-year business plans 6.

49 Summary Health policy is created and implemented in numerous ways and for many reasons, but it reflects consensus on values and guides decision-making The Military Health System is policy driven, and TRICARE is one of the more visible policies within the MHS, which has evolved over time Dynamics of both purchased & direct care continue to change in ways similar to & different from those in the U.S. Supply and demand The MHS is in the beginning stages of the biggest transformation in its history Opportunities to improve efficiency and reduce costs, in large part through greater/improved integration Focus on Jointness 58
