Assessing the Capacity of the DoD Psychological Health System
Providing high-quality treatment and improving outcomes for individuals with mental health problems is a priority for the Military Health System (MHS). Currently, there are no system-wide mechanisms in place to routinely assess the quality of care provided for PTSD and depression or to understand whether the care is improving outcomes for service members with these conditions. To address this issue, the Department of Defense has asked the RAND Corporation to assess the quality of care for PTSD and depression within the Military Health System.
