DESCRIPTION:Retention is one of the pillars of Army end strength. Determini
 ng retention potential of a wounded\, ill\, or injured Soldier in a timely
  and accurate manner can be difficult given the interaction of multiple va
 riables: pain\, physical requirements for a Military Occupational Specialt
 y\, manifold combinations of conditions and injuries\, and individual resp
 onse to treatment. Since January 2021\, the Army Recovery Care Program (AR
 CP) has utilized Functional Capacity Evaluations (FCEs) and Work Hardening
 /Work Conditioning Evaluations (WH/WCE) in the Soldier Recovery Units (SRU
 s) to improve the process of making a separation and retention decision. R
 etrospective analyses of calendar year 2021 and 2022 data indicated improv
 ed Return to Force (RTF) rates for evaluated Soldiers over non-evaluated S
 oldiers. The restructure of ARCP and SRUs presents an opportunity to pause
  and evaluate whether and to what extent this evaluation program has met t
 he initial objectives to decrease time to reach Military Retention Determi
 nation Point (MRDP) and increase RTF rates\; what factors related to Soldi
 er demographics\, diagnoses\, and evaluation timing\, if any\, impacted ei
 ther of these objectives. A dataset covering four years and utilization of
  descriptive and inferential statistical testing allows the audience to de
 termine if there is sufficiently significant value to merit broader adopti
 on within military medicine.

TRANSP:OPAQUE
X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Retention is one of the pillars of Army end
  strength. Determining retention potential of a wounded\, ill\, or injured
  Soldier in a timely and accurate manner can be difficult given the intera
 ction of multiple variables: pain\, physical requirements for a Military O
 ccupational Specialty\, manifold combinations of conditions and injuries\,
  and individual response to treatment. Since January 2021\, the Army Recov
 ery Care Program (ARCP) has utilized Functional Capacity Evaluations (FCEs
 ) and Work Hardening/Work Conditioning Evaluations (WH/WCE) in the Soldier
  Recovery Units (SRUs) to improve the process of making a separation and r
 etention decision. Retrospective analyses of calendar year 2021 and 2022 d
 ata indicated improved Return to Force (RTF) rates for evaluated Soldiers 
 over non-evaluated Soldiers. The restructure of ARCP and SRUs presents an 
 opportunity to pause and evaluate whether and to what extent this evaluati
 on program has met the initial objectives to decrease time to reach Milita
 ry Retention Determination Point (MRDP) and increase RTF rates\; what fact
 ors related to Soldier demographics\, diagnoses\, and evaluation timing\, 
 if any\, impacted either of these objectives. A dataset covering four year
 s and utilization of descriptive and inferential statistical testing allow
 s the audience to determine if there is sufficiently significant value to 
 merit broader adoption within military medicine.</p>
