Fiscal Year 2012 Report to Congress
Policy
This instruction outlines military treatment facility (MTF) roles and responsibilities in the area of clinical performance improvement (PI), explains patient safety and risk management (RM) programs, PI/accreditation/self-inspection requirements, credentials and privileging processes, and scope of practice in order to provide optimal healthcare delivery.
Policy
This instruction establishes Navy Medicine strategic policy for the promotion of organizational transparency and full disclosure following unanticipated or adverse outcomes of care; to assist the enterprise in "doing the right thing" when there are unanticipated outcomes of care, treatment and services; to train and coach providers in disclosure techniques and to resolve complex healthcare issues at the earliest opportunity, outside a legal venue, with equitable resolutions for patients, providers, and the organization.
Policy
This memorandum rescinds and replaces several previously-issued Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) (ASD[HA]) policy memoranda regarding TRICARE policy for access to care. To the extent practicable, this policy applies to overseas locations and to the TRICARE Overseas Program contractor with consideration that overseas/foreign locations often present unique circumstances.

The Evaluation of the TRICARE Program Fiscal Year 2010 Report to Congress is provided by:
The TRICARE Management Activity (TMA), Health Program Analysis and Evaluation Directorate (TMA/
HPA&E), in the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) (OASD/HA). This report presents data for each of our four mission elements
or strategic objectives: (1) maintaining casualty care and
humanitarian assistance, (2) creating and sustaining a healthy,
fit, and protected force, (3) promoting healthy and resilient
individuals, families, and communities, and (4) improving
education, training, and research. As in prior annual reports,
where feasible and appropriate, data are trended over the
most recent three fiscal years (usually FYs 2007–2009, in this
year’s report), where programs are sufficiently mature. Where
available and appropriate, we also continue the approach
used in past years of comparing TRICARE with civiliansector
benchmarks, such as in our beneficiary surveys of
access and satisfaction.

It includes DoD and statutory policies addressing medical services quality management requirements. In addition, it implements DoD 6025.13 – R, DoDD 6000.14 and other DoD guidance.
