Download as PDF 10058 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 30 / Tuesday, February 13, 2024 / Notices beneficiaries by the Defense Health Agency (DHA). The instrument includes an additional module that is the only population-based measurement of Healthy People 2030 goals and health metrics reflecting the priorities of senior health leaders. The HCSDB is a population-based survey, not a healthcare encounter-based survey. As such, the HCSDB is the only survey able to measure access to care and other metrics for beneficiaries who may not be using the TRICARE health system due to barriers to care they encounter. This information collection, which began in 2008, continues to be of critical importance to DHA and Congress in assessing Military Health System and Managed Care Support Contractor performance by allowing for trending by various beneficiary categories over time.
