Abstract
Each year the Department of Defense (DOD) is exposed to
great pressure from the public sector and Federal Government
to save money and to be efficient. The Productivity Program
Office of Assistant Secretary of Defense (Manpower,
Reserve Affairs and Logistics) brings together approaches for
cost containment and organizational efficiency. The Military
Health Services System (MHSS) has been notorious for
its assumed inefficiency. This apparent "waste" gets attention
when health costs go up as productivity trends downward
when measured by the Composite Work Unit (CWU) . This thesis
examines the CWU and a proposed Health Care Unit (HCU) . Both
measures were discussed and analyzed in an attempt to determine
the reliability of each. The Commercial Activities
Program and the Efficiency Review Program are presented together
with some limited analysis. A proposed performance
indicator is presented offering potential for productivity
measurement of the MHSS. Conclusions are drawn to summarize
the foregoing topics and recommendations are made regarding
the Efficiency Review Program, the proposed MHSS productivity
measure, and incentives are presented offering potential
for efficiency improvement for military health care delivery.
