Introducing Value-Based Purchasing into TRICARE Reform : RAND Corporation , 2016
From the document: "TRICARE, part of the military health system, is the health plan for 6.6 million military beneficiaries in the United States (as of 2014), primarily active-duty and retired personnel and their family members under age 65.* It uniquely combines a large direct-care system of military treatment facilities (MTFs) with extensive care purchased from the private sector. In 2014, a comprehensive review of this military health system described it as follows: The Military Health System (MHS) provides a continuum of health services from austere operational environments through remote, fixed medical treatment facilities to major tertiary care medical centers distributed across the United States. Missioncritical aspects of the MHS include the ability to sustain an interdependent and self-supporting, responsive health care team. Force Health Protection is the critical support function of the MHS in providing a worldwide deployable defense force."
