title: The reengineering of Naval Hospital Charleston.
abstract: Current changes in the practice of medicine and the downsizing of the military have resulted in the necessity to look at alternatives to current military hospital structure. Based on business case analysis and other economic factors, Naval Hospital Charleston has undergone a reorganization and introduced a primary care-based health care system. This model provides efficient, high-quality health care and addresses the need to maintain adequate support for operational forces.
