Lt. General (Dr.) Douglas Robb on DHA's Strategic Priorities

Lt. General (Dr.) Douglas Robb, director, Defense Health Agency joined me on The Business of Government Hour to discuss its strategic priorities. The Military Health System isn’t immune to such changes. In fact, within the military, there are additional imperatives for designing an integrated health system which includes more joint operations as a way to meet its aims of readiness, improving the health and care of people it serves, and doing this while managing costs. With the creation of the Defense Health Agency, DoD has taken a step in this direction. DHA is the starting point for comprehensive enterprise-wide reform. It is a leading example for how DoD will seek to modernize and integrate its system of care -- creating a stronger, better and more resilient military health system for the future. How is the Defense Health Agency changing the way DoD delivers healthcare? What are some of the key challenges faced in restructuring such a complex system? How is DHA transforming its health information technology portfolio? Lt. Gen. (Dr.) Douglas Robb, Director, Defense Health Agency joined me on The Business of Government Hour to explore these questions and so much more. The following is an edited excerpt of my conversation with General Robb.
