註釋
The Military Health System (MHS) has more than 9 million eligible beneficiaries, including active duty service members and their families, retirees and their families, and Guard and Reserve members serving on active duty and their families. The MHS provides health care through its own facilities and personnel (direct care); it also purchases care from civilian providers (purchased care). In January 2004, the MHS's Clinical Information Technology Program Office (CITPO) began implementation of the Armed Forces Health Longitudinal Technology Application (AHLTA), DoD's global electronic health record. AHLTA will ultimately be used by all providers in the military's direct care system at the point of care. It will also promote population health, conduct medical surveillance, support clinical decision making, and support force health protection for deployed service members. As of December 2006, AHLTA was being used to document virtually all outpatient care delivered at fixed MHS facilities. The objective of this project was to help MHS develop an analytic framework and define specific outcome measures for assessing and reporting the efficiency, safety, and health benefits of AHLTA as it becomes fully deployed. This monograph describes the framework the authors recommend that DoD adopt in measuring AHLTA's contribution to MHS performance. To develop the framework, they reviewed AHLTA's current and planned capabilities, reviewed the literature on the measured benefits of health information technology, consulted with senior MHS leaders to understand the dimensions of performance that the leadership deemed important and how the leadership anticipated that AHLTA would affect those dimensions, identified and assessed performance measures in current use by civilian health systems for their applicability to MHS strategic objectives, and suggested new approaches for measuring MHS strategic objectives where civilian measures are lacking.
