This thesis is a continuation of a subject initiated by
Lieutenant Brian R. Colfack, Medical Service Corps, U.S. Navy,
who approached the utilization of Non Physician Providers (NPP)
from the perspective of cost implications (Ref. 1). Colfack
also discussed the history of the NPP movem.ent and the present
mix of providers in the military sector. That thesis and the
present work were undertaken as a part of the Naval Postgraduate School research project entitled "Navy Health Care Systems Professional
and Paraprofessional Personnel Mix Study" sponsored
by the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Manpower.
The thesis begins with an examination of the civilian and
military physician's assistant (PA) and nurse practitioner (NP)
utilization patterns. Then, to the extent that information was
available, staffing models for the non-physician health care
provider from the civilian and military sector are discussed.
Implications for military utilization of NPPs follow. Staffing
implications are then discussed in light of the models examined.
Finally, a summary and conclusions chapter attempt to generalize
the findings of the literature and draw upon the findings presented
by Colfack.
