Abstract:
The Health Care Delivery Subcommittee of the Defense Health Board DHB conducted program reviews of the Deployment Health Clinical Center DHCC, Armed Forces Health Surveillance Center AFHSC, and Naval Health Research Center NHRC in December 2011and January 2012. The consolidated findings of the Subcommittee members and recommendations for each site, as endorsed by the Board, are presented in this report. The initial concept for the Department of Defense DoD Deployment Health Centers, issued by the Assistant Secretary of Defense Health Affairs ASDHA on September 30, 1999 indicated that the goal of creating the centers would be to improve DoDs ability to identify, treat, and minimize or eliminate the short- and long-term adverse effects of military service on the physical and mental health of veterans. 1 The DHBs 2012 review of the Centers indicates that significant advances in achieving this goal have been made however, there may be opportunities to further optimize the Centers activities.
