  6. MAP Training Individual Medical Readiness Mental Health/ Operational Stress Control CBR Protection Open (“EZ”) Access Family-Centered Care Population Health 5VM Learning Continuum MAP ImperativeOne of 8 Naval Medicine “Equities” 2004 TRICARE Conference – Navy SG Breakout Session

  7. Current Situation • Platform training: 5 days/year inadequate • MAPEXs poorly supported/attended • most training provided in field setting • Individuals trained  individuals deployed • frequent personnel substitutions OIF AARs/Lessons Learned: inadequate training is a liability in combat!

  8. Current Situation • No standard curriculum • MARFOR mission/organization/CoC • tactical/combat survival skills • field clinical skills • No predictable training plan (TEEP) • Suboptimal coordination between supporting/supported MARFOR platforms Who’s accountable for mission success?

  9. Current Situation MTF COs Have Competing Incentives • Operational Readiness • Support current deployment • Train future deployers • Peacetime TRICARE mission • Focus on productivity, access, revised financing costs • Providers that need MAP training generate high-cost care • Peacetime care contributes to readiness too!

  10. MAP ImperativeDefinition • MAP = method used by the Surgeon General to train, equip, and organize medical personnel to meet HSS requirements of Naval operational forces • Focus on: • developing standardized process for assigning and training MAP personnel • metrics to which a Commanding Officer can be held accountable

  11. MAP ImperativeKey Elements • MTF & platform COs must have visibility of stable platform (Component UIC) manning documents (AMD, ODCR, EDVR) • MTF & platform COs must possess a list of validated and consistent platform training requirements, including periodicity of refresher training. • MTF COs possess in-house resources that can be applied toward MAP training

  12. MAP ImperativeSteps for Standardization • Develop partnerships between platform COs and MTF COs • Drive training into the MTF/DTF • Assign responsible officer at MTF for each supported platform • Train to EMPARTS • Develop standardized deployment rotation policy

  13. MAP ImperativeProposed Measures of Success • EMPARTS R-, A-, & T-status • MTF’s ability to supply platform personnel • Feedback from platform CO • Measures of MTF/DTF operations and productivity: • revised financing bill • network referrals • waiting times • available clinic hrs – total RVUs – OPVs – inpt bed capacity – surgical backlog

  14. Navy Trauma Training CenterBackground • Congressional mandate – 1996 NDAA • Demo programs at EVMS (Navy 1997), JTTC Ben Taub (DoD, 1999-2000) • NTTC established 2002 to train FRSS and FST teams; focus on “salvage surgery” • 29 day rotation, 9 classes/yr, 24 trainees/class • 14 rotations since inception; 249 trained thru Mar 04 (60 MC, 55 NC, 7 PA, 127 HM)

  15. NTTC IssuesTMO View • NTTC does not have capacity to provide all Navy and Marine Corps trauma training needs. • MAP personnel assigned to far forward resuscitation and surgical teams (FRSS, STP) are deploying to combat areas without adequate trauma training. • There is an immediate need to ensure that medical personnel deploying to OIF II-2 (Sep 04) are properly prepared and trained.

  16. DiscussionTraining demand vs. NTTC Capacity • No written directive mandating NTTC training for specific platforms or personnel • No established standard for periodicity of refresher training • surgical community consensus view  q2 yrs • Analysis: NTTC can accommodate FRSS and FST demand… • … but not all platforms (CRTS, FH/EMU, T-AH)

  17. Potential Courses of Action • Establish new, shorter trauma training program for those not involved with salvage surgery • Decrease length of NTTC rotation by teaching didactics at local MTFs • Joint training with USA/USAF programs • Expand other existing Navy programs

  18. Overall Goal: Raise the baseline of trauma expertise throughout Naval Medicine (both officer and enlisted) to reduce current knowledge gap and training time required before mobilization. Methods: BTLS, ATLS, new salvage surgery courses, MTTs, patient simulators, etc.

  19. Discussion:Specialist training quotas going unfilled • Process for scheduling units to attend NTTC working well • But… >1/3 of slots for surgeons, emergency physicians, anesthesia providers went empty

  20. Units Scheduled for NTTC Training Mar-Oct 04 15 Mar – 12 Apr: 1st FSSG FRSS / FST 1 26 Apr – 24 May: 1st FSSG FRSS / 2nd FSSG FRSS 31 May – 28 Jun: 1st FSSG FRSS / FH Ports. (Det B) 05 Jul – 2 Aug: 3rd FSSG FRSS / FH Camp Pend. EMU 09 Aug – 06 Sep: 1st FSSG Surgical Co. / FST 4 20 Sep – 18 Oct: FH Camp Pend. (Det B) / FST 9 25 Oct – 22 Nov: 2nd FSSG FRSS / FST 7

  21. Trauma Training CostsIndirect: Lost MTF Productivity • General surgeon should produce 6250 RVUs/yr • Value of care not provided by one surgeon during one month at NTTC = $71,875 • Total system cost = $1.94M/year • Emergency physician should produce 4750 RVUs/yr • Value of one month at NTTC = $54,625 • Total system cost = $983K/year

  22. Example: NavHosp Camp Pendleton • 1st FSSG CUIC on deck for OIF II-2… and FH Camp Pendleton will be at tier 1 readiness • Effect of NTTC on specialist availability: • General surgeons: 5 total (4 FSSG, 1 FH); expect 3-4 to deploy next fall – will leave behind just one! • Emergency physicians: 9 total (6 Navy and 3 contract); expect 3-4 to deploy in fall; use remaining Navy physicians to cover extra shifts • Anesthesia providers: 1 CRNA deployed, 2 MDs on LIMDU; must reduce from 4 ORs to 3 ORs to support NTTC training

  23. Potential Courses of Action • Mandate NTTC training prior to deployment • Use EMPARTS or new AQD to ensure right personnel are getting trained/re-trained • Backfill with Reservists • Backfill with blue-suit personnel from less impacted MTFs • Obtain resource support from TRICARE network • Program funds to purchase civilian care

  24. Summary • MAP training is essential in GWOT • MAP training is expensive • MTFs are faced with lose:lose choices • Competing incentives mandate innovative approaches and additional resourcing
