This report documents a methodology for analyzing problems incurred in planning an Air Force Medical Service serving complementary and conflicting functions. The Note describes a mathematical programming model called the physician workforce design model, which complementes the Provider Requirements Integrated Speciality Model (PRISM) developed by the Air Force. The model and methodology identifies and compares options for improving the wartime capabilities of active duty physicians without compromising the peacetime delivery of health care. By pursuing the more promising options, the Air Force can improve its readiness to respond in a sudden conflict within the constraints of a workable peacetime health care system. The Note describes the dual purpose workforce design model, the wartime capability assessment model, and defines the workforce model inputs.

Military medical personnel are tasked with fulfilling both the benefits mission and the readiness mission of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). However, the medical skills required during deployment are likely to differ significantly from those required during peacetime. This study explored an arrangement in which some personnel are stationed in nonmilitary settings where the case mix might more closely resemble that expected under deployment.
