Impact of the 2009 Influenza (H1N1) Pandemic on the United States Military Health Care System 2013-06-17 .txt text/plain 2933 142 42 3 This outbreak resulted in a mass vaccination program across the United States and initiated a collaborative approach between CHAMPUS (now TRICARE, the system of health care plans for the U.S. Armed Forces and beneficiaries), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and local/ regional health departments. This study exam-ines the burden of disease caused by the 2009 H1N1 pandemic strain on the MHS with respect to health care utilization and associated costs and provides insight into DoD resource management of pandemics compared to previous nonpandemic influenza seasons. Cost data included costs associated with outpatient and emergency department visits, inpatient stays, influenza vaccine administration, and antiviral prescriptions rendered in the military and civilian settings from October 2004 to January 2010 (the last month when full cost data were available at the time of analysis). ./cache/cord-252884-miptf6od.txt ./txt/cord-252884-miptf6od.txt
