handle is hein.gao/gaobaaysp0001 and id is 1 raw text is: COMPTROLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON. D.C. 2054I B-183 256 FEBRUARY 28, 1979 The Honorable Jamie L. Whitten Chairman, Committee on Appropriations House of Representatives Dear Mr. Chairman: On June 27, 1978, the Committee Chairman asked us to review the need for a replacement hospital at Ft. Lewis, Washington. At that time, the Subcommittee on Military Con- struction was considering including funds for the hospital in the Department of Defense's (DOD's) fiscal year 1980 budget request. However, because the Congress approved a modifica- tion of the existing hospital in the fiscal year 1979 appro- priation, the planned total replacement of the Ft. Lewis facility was postponed for several years. Because of this change, we agreed with the Subcommittee's office in September 1978 to: --Defer work specifically related to the replacement hospital at Ft. Lewis. --Complete our work of incorporating improvements made to our hospital sizing model into DOD's methodology for sizing hospitals. --Write a letter of inquiry to DOD concerning the status of its efforts to develop a planning methodology and construction policy for light care beds. We have nearly finished incorporating our improvements into the DOD hospital sizing model. We will give DOD our finished product soon. The improvements will enable DOD to calculate not only the appropriate total bed size for a hos- pital, but also the appropriate size of each medical spe- cialty service within the hospital. We anticipate that DOD will have no difficulty using the improved model in planning future hospitals. HRD-79-53 108753 (101011)
