Discuss the conditions and capabilities driving clinical readiness in military medicine and the role of Military Medical Treatment Facilities (MTFs) in supporting national military objectives. Panel Discussion: Examining Walter Reed National Military Medical Center as an example, discuss barriers preventing MTFs from optimally pursuing their military missions. Discussion will focus on issues in the areas of access to care, workforce, physical infrastructure, operations management, and leadership and communication. Highlight recent and current initiatives addressing these barriers and discuss what solution approaches may best sustain momentum in overcoming these barriers. Discussion will focus on improving conditions for patients and staff, developing and implementing more effective capacity management tools, aligning MTF resourcing to MTF military requirements, and improving patients’ access to MTF-based care.
