Description
In 2024, the TSMO, under the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (BUMED) N10E, galvanized the goals of the Navy Medicine Trauma Strategy to span priorities across the Navy Medicine Enterprise and underscore Navy Medicine’s imperative to man, train, and equip operational medical forces. These goals are: 1) Define, Refine, and Validate Requirements; 2) Train to Standard; and 3) Sustain Clinical Skills and Abilities. In alignment with these efforts, TSMO is focused on facilitating opportunities to prioritize team-based training and heightened opportunity for skills enhancement via the development of Military Civilian Partnerships (MCPs). These efforts, in conjunction with traditional readiness efforts at Navy Military Medical Treatment Facilities (MTF), aim to build a more medically ready force of Navy caregivers through exposure to a high quantity of complex patient encounters, team-based training, and advanced medical education. The individual and team-based clinical skills gained by MCP-embedded service members prepares our workforce to provide quality care and patient experience for our warfighters whilst deployed and at-home.
TSMO has designed the MCPs to emphasize heightening Servicemember exposure to clinical acuity and complexity in effort to increase the medical readiness of Navy’s Expeditionary Medical Systems (EXMEDS) via embedment at Level I Trauma Centers, which allow Navy Servicemembers access to reps and sets across the continuum of trauma care in complex scenarios. TSMO has established MCPs with Penn Medicine in Philadelphia, PA and Cook County Health in Chicago, IL in 2021 and 2022, respectively, embedding Expeditionary Resuscitative Surgical System (ERSS) and En Route Care System (ERCS) teams. The training programs within these MCPs prioritize unit-level training that complements the individual-level skills sustainment experienced in MTFs.
In order to validate the impact of these MCPs and measure success, TSMO engages in sustained data collection and reporting in conjunction with BUMED N7 and the Joint Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities (JKSA) Project Management Office (PMO). TSMO will present data from its 2023 MCP Effectiveness White Paper that highlights the benefit of MCPs in providing caregivers with skills enhancement opportunities. With a spotlight on the Penn Medicine and CCH MCPs, TSMO will demonstrate the impact of long-term embedment on individual medical readiness with quantitative data from the Naval Medicine Force Development Center (NMFDC) Clinical Activity Data Capture (CADC) pilot, meant to track and analyze specific clinical activities critical to EXMEDS specialties. Additionally, TSMO will showcase qualitative datapoints from its Partnership Performance Assessments (PPAs) which are distributed to personnel at each MCP. These questionnaires focus on determining the efficacy of team-based training in increasing confidence in clinical and deployment skillsets amongst service members embedded at the MCPs.
