SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Summary of Information Collection
The goal of this survey effort is to
understand and compare the public’s
perceptions of Military health care to
that of Health Care in general in the
United States. The Military Health Care
System’s vision statement is—‘‘A world
class health system that supports the
military mission by fostering,
protecting, sustaining and restoring
health’’. Recent developments have
tarnished that vision. The media have
focused attention on the plight of
PO 00000
Frm 00013
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
wounded military personnel in the
direct care environment. They have
published various articles and stories on
the shortfalls of Military Health Care to
include support services (Medical
Evaluation Boards, Physical Evaluation
Boards, Housing, Pay, etc.) as provided
in accounts from beneficiary and other
sources. There are numerous and
ongoing anecdotal accounts of red tape,
bureaucracy, physician shortages
(particularly mental health care
workers), substandard care, neglect,
problems with consults and
appointments, and overall perceived
deep and systemic failures of the
Military Health Care System. HA/TMA
is very concerned about the
implications of these negative accounts
of Military Health Care on the
perceptions of the public regarding the
provision of health care, ancillary and
support services. HA/TMA would like
to understand the extent to which the
public holds negative perceptions of the
system, what their perceptions were/are
about Military Health Care in general
and what can be done, if anything, to
help regain the public’s trust in this
important resource since this current
breech occurred. We would also like to
compare and contrast the public’s
perceptions of Military Health Care with
those of Health Care in the public arena
as a way to gain more insight into the
issue. Moreover, health care for military
personnel and their family members has
often been cited as one of the key
recruitment and retention tools for the
Department. Data from this survey will
help establish a baseline for
understanding the public’s attitude
about Military Health Care and help
determine if changes in the system
based on recommended interventions
such as increased staffing, computerized
medical records, streamlined processes
and procedures, etc., will improve the
public’s perceptions or attitudes. For the
purposes of this survey, Military Health
Care is defined as medical and dental
care for individuals entitled to health
care under 10 U.S.C., Chapter 55.
