Abstract
Within the context of the findings and recommendations of the recent
Military Health Care Study (MHCS) the concept of decentralized management
is examined. The implications for the concept's application
(decentralization) in the Military Health Services System (MHSS) are
considered. Based on option 3 of recommendation 3 of the MHCS, i. e. ,
"Implement a regional management structure which allocates resources,
including funds, facility and personnel, " a regional management structure
is posited which includes a Regional Health Planning Agency (RHPA)
for the MHSS. The potential interface of the three principal actors of
the posited regional management structure (the regional authority, RHPA
and regional medical center/facility) are considered.
