AB  - The  Department  of  Defense  (DoD)  comprises  a  complex  health  care  system  with  a  diverse  beneficiary  population  and  an  annual  budget  that  exceeds  $52  billion.  The  Military  Health  System  (MHS)  seeks  to  offer  high-quality  and  accessible  health  care  services  to  its  10.6  million  beneficiaries.  It  does  this  through  a  global  direct  care  network  composed  of  over  240  Military  Treatment  Facility  (MTF)  hospitals  and  clinics,  supplemented  by  a  purchased  care  network  of  community  clinical  providers.  Access  to  care  remains  a  challenge  for  the  MHS,  as  many  MTFs  struggle  to  meet  access  standards  and  as  the  number  of  beneficiaries  living  distant  from  MTFs  continues  to  grow.  This  has  a  significant  financial  impact  on  the  managed  care  provider  for  the  DoD  called  the  TRICARE  network.1
