This is in response to your July 26, 1979, letter con-
cerning the Department of the Navy's plan to discontinue
inpatient care at the Quantico Naval Hospital, Quantico, J
Virginia. Specificallyyou asKed that we determine thr
cost ectiveness of the Navy's planned action by assessing
--the accuracy of the Navy's estimate of cost savings
expected to result from discontinuing inpatient care,
--the increased costs of Civilian Health and Medical
Program of the Uniformed Services (CHAMPUS) coverage
for the use of nonmilitary medical facilities,
--the worktime lost by patients and attendants in
traveling to other facilities, and
--the increased costs of gasoline consumed by ambulances
and private automobiles having to travel farther
distances.
In addition, you asked that we determine the adequacy of
emergency facilities at Quantico.
Inpatient care was discontinued at the Quantico Naval
Hospital on June 15, 1979, and the facility renamed the
Naval Regional Medical Clinic, Quantico. The emergency I
room was closed on September 3, 1979.
