Tri-Service Business Planning Tool (TSBPT)
IMPROVING HEALTHCARE DELIVERY AT MILITARY TREATMENT FACILITIES
The TSBPT application was created in a joint effort to generate an enterprise solution
for business planning among the military’s healthcare services and systems. The
TSBPT is the main source of Defense Health Plan (DHP) funds allocation via the Prospective
Payment System (PPS). PPS helps the Military Health System (MHS) be more responsive
and balanced in allocating personnel and assets, ensuring that those resources more accurately
reflect the healthcare needs of U.S. service members and their families. As MTFs
participate in uniform processes set forth through PPS, the MHS is able to see more
accurate and consistent workload projections to evaluate an MTF’s performance. The
projections enable the MHS to readily identify shortfalls in a facility, and prescribe
Capacity-to-Demand solutions for improving the delivery of healthcare services to
all beneficiaries.

FUNCTIONS:
|
Guides users through a formalized step-by-
step business-planning process to anticipate specific elements
related to direct care (DC), purchased care
(PC), staffing, and enrollment by location.
TSBPT provides training and instructions as users
navigate each module.
Baseline and forecast calculations are based on
the previous year’s data validation with projections based on
changes in enrollment and staffing after
applying historical ratios.
Uses rigorous approval protocol to proceed through
the hierarchy of Multi-Service Market (MSM) managers, Intermediate
Commands, TRICARE Regional Offices (TROs), Service-
level headquarters (HQs), TRICARE
Management Activity (TMA), and Health Affairs.
TSBPT provides for an open view into the details
of all plans developed for each facility (regardless of service or
role) and allows for that plan to be printed for complete review.
|
Pre-loaded with baseline data from Service- identified
data sources.
Facilitates decisions regarding when, where, and how
to provide personnel and resources at the MTF level, as well as
response-based calculations of PPS revenue
necessary to maintain planned standards of care.
The PPS TSBPT specifically provides for Population
Review, Staffing Review, Outpatient Workload/Utilization/Projections/
Capacity, and Inpatient Workload/Beds/
Occupancy Rates/Projections/Capacity.
TSBPT projections become the baseline data for
workload production monitoring activities at all levels in the
Military Health System.
TSBPT provides a view of a historical plan library of three past
years of plans, as developed and approved for that planning
year.
