DoD health improvement guide released

The TRICARE Management Activity has released the DoD Population Health Improvement Plan and Guide. The PHI Plan provides implementation guidance to the services.

PHI is a balancing of awareness, education, prevention and intervention activities required to improve the health of specific population groups. The Plan identifies a variety of resources that may be useful in delivering population-based health care to Military Health System members.

While the plan provides the strategic overview for population health, the services will each continue to plan and implement programs that address the needs of their respective communities.
