RHRP III is not a success story. It's a lesson in measures of effectiveness (Are we doing the right thing) versus measures of performance (Are we doing things right). Compo 3 has seen a 20% drop in medical readiness under RHRP III and Compo 2 medical readiness is held together by the endless work of 54 Deputy State Surgeons. This isn't due to a lack of effort by the DHA staff or program manager but rather failures with contracting. States have rebuilt the services locally and the 54 S/T are working tireless to maintain a medical fit force. I hope we apply these lessons to RHRP IV.
Reflecting on an incredible medical team conference hosted by the National Guard Professional Education Center at Camp Robinson in Little Rock, Arkansas! The team behind the Remote Health Readiness Program was honored to be invited by the U.S. Army and Army National Guard, Office of the Chief Surgeon, to discuss how the program is supporting medical readiness for United States Department of Defense service members. US Army Col. Eric Bullock, program director, answered questions, highlighted key successes and challenges, and spoke with leaders and service members. Reflecting on this remarkable event, our team is energized by the collaborative spirit and inspired to continue supporting medical readiness.

That first sentence…. For me the goal is to see real EI get deployed. Not the me too EI happening now. Not the me too cloud deployment. EI with vision for the future. #wemakeEIeasy #agfa #enterpriseimaging.
“For me, the end state and the measure of my success is that there are Soldiers who are ready to go out the door because we’ve addressed their medical needs, whether it’s in the direct care system or with partners in the purchased care system,” said Brig. Gen. Mary Krueger, special assistant to the director of the Army staff and 24th chief, United States Army Medical Corps, during a forum on Army family healthcare. #AUSA2023

On Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the brave individuals who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. Their courage and patriotism have not only protected our nation but have also significantly contributed to advancing clinical research and medical breakthroughs. Throughout history, the military has been instrumental in developing life-saving treatments, preventive measures, and medical technologies that have had a profound impact on countless lives. From antimalarial drugs to trauma care innovations, their sacrifices have paved the way for groundbreaking progress in healthcare. An exemplary instance is the establishment of the U.S. Army's Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in 1893, known for its pioneering work in preventative medicine, including the development of the first successful yellow fever vaccine. Military clinicians and researchers have tirelessly strived to enhance health outcomes for both military personnel and civilians, even in challenging conditions. On this Memorial Day, we express our deep gratitude to the fallen heroes and the dedicated individuals who have advanced scientific knowledge through their service. Their commitment to protecting and improving human life through medical innovation is truly inspiring and a testament to the noblest of causes. Let us honor their legacy by reaffirming our support for clinical research that continues their impactful work. Their sacrifices remind us of the importance of striving for medical progress to enhance and save lives. We will always remember and appreciate their service. #drugdiscovery #drugdevelopment #studystartup #clinicaltrials #healthcare #clinicalresearch #patientrecruitment #sitemanagement #clinicaldevelopment #clinicaltrial #clinicaloperations #clinicalstudy #clinicalsupply

As the debate goes on about PA practice laws, pros and cons, I sought to remember where it all began; as an idea from a physician based on WWII. There was a fast track training for physicians during that war and that training for post-war military medics, is the foundation of PA education. As we look to the future, we need to remember the past, and the WHY, and the HOW! The founder of PA training and practice was a PHYSICIAN. This tradition, in and of itself, should validate the team-focused training and practice of the PA.

This. This is why a patient having a single, integrated health record matters. This is why we recruit talented people like Leesa Henderson, PT, DPT, Blanca Badgett, MSN, RN, Thomas M., James Ellzy and Patrick Debusha Sargent who have lived in the healthcare systems we serve, including the MHS, and can help ensure our intentions and outcomes align. This is why we partner with organizations like Military Family Advisory Network to gather insights and data so the one patient's healthcare journey that is improved can be repeated 9.5 million times.

My husband has been in the military health system his whole life. ⚓️His father was an active duty Naval officer for 26 years, 👨🏼🎓my husband then went through ROTC in college, and 🫡he commissioned into the Air Force in 2011. He has had “white coat” syndrome his whole life and takes blood pressure meds. This summer will mark our 8th move since his commissioning and up until our second to last move, every new base brought the rehashing of medical data and conversations that he had had many times over. It was a distinct pain point for him and he dreaded the initial visit every time. But since the transition to Oracle Health #MHSGenesis , he said he has noticed: ✴️better continuity of care ✴️more transparency into his medical records ✴️an overall improved medical experience when leaving from and coming to a new base This praise came after a recent completed referral process at our current duty station. It was unprompted. Just off hand conversation while cleaning up dinner, as if he temporarily forgot where I work. This is why we do what we do at OHGS. We know things can be better for our service members, veterans, and their families. Will there be growing pains? Of course. But the end result is worth it. Just ask my husband.

Founder S2 - Stalker Solutions | Senior Fellow National Defense University | Consultant | Board Member | Executive Coach | Speaker | Retired U.S. Marine
Yesterday I was given a CD, which captured my documented medical history. It’s hard to believe one CD captured 30+ years, but it did. My thanks to the medical professionals that worked tirelessly the past 3 months to find all of my records. When I began the request process we found that much of my information was lost or misplaced. The last seven years I’ve served on Army, Air Force, and now Space Force base. Before that, as a Marine, most of my medical documentation was done by the Navy…so my stuff was everywhere! I got this just in time, which is again why you should consider starting early. Next week I begin the Benefits Delivery at Discharge process with a VSO. You can begin the BDD process as early as 180 days out, which is exactly where I am in my timeline. Get your medical and dental taken care of, documented and think through your timeline. I encourage you to know the exact date you can do BDD and put a plan together to meet it. The system may not be optimal, but it’s even harder when you don’t take advantage of the process and get the benefits you’ve earned. #veteranshelpingveterans #veteransupport #VA #retirementplanning

Veterans and Vietnam veterans should read this.
******Army Morning Reports and Rosters 1960-1968****** GOOD NEWS from the National Archives in St. Louis, Missouri! The United States Army has accessioned its morning reports and rosters from 1960 to 1968 to the National Archives and Records Administration in St. Louis, Missouri. That means that professional researchers and the public now have access to these documents on microfilm in person at NARA St. Louis. Previously, only NARA and NPRC staff had access to these records. This opens a new door to veterans, their families, historians, authors, educators, the public, and private professional military researchers who serve all of the above. (PLEASE READ ON) In addition, more great news from NARA St. Louis. - Army / Air Force Morning Reports (1940-43)- Hot off the press!! I just learned that the first fifty rolls of the Army / Air Force Morning Reports from 1940-43 will go up on the NARA Catalog next week. Be on the lookout for those, and more information will follow as the morning reports are digitized and made accessible on the Catalog and/or our digitization partner's websites. This means that those with the expertise to translate these reports into usable documents will have unlimited access to them in the online NARA catalog for FREE! Of course, we here at Global Military Research have the expertise to retrieve, read, and translate the hundreds of military and government acronyms and abbreviations in these reports as part of our research services. We are available for consultation Monday to Friday, 10 AM. to 6 PM. Eastern Time

Next on our list of Cummins veterans is Amanda Watkins, who works as a Crisis Intervention Therapist in Hendricks County. 🙌 – Service branches: Army and Indiana National Guard – Years of service: 2008–2012 (Army), 2014–2019 (Indiana National Guard) – Highest rank attained: Corporal (E-4) – Commendations: Army Service Ribbon, Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Army Achievement Medal – How has your service benefitted you as a person? “My experience in the military instilled discipline within me. I developed a strong work ethic and the ability to stay disciplined even under pressure. Despite the challenges I faced, my military experience showed me my ability to persevere through difficult situations.” – How has your service affected your ability to work with military-involved consumers and families? “My experience in the military has affected my ability to work with consumers who are veterans and their families in a positive way. I'm able to better understand the fear, anxiety, and stress that consumers might be feeling during a crisis. Sharing that experience with consumers and having exposure to similar emotions can help me empathize on a deeper level. My experience has made me less susceptible to being overwhelmed by veteran consumers’ trauma, whereas some therapists might struggle with graphic details.” #MemorialDay2024 #CumminsVets #ProudOfOurVets #SaluteToService #HonorOurHeroes #ThankYouVeterans
