The Psychological Health Center of Excellence uses its data analytics expertise to provide relevant, timely, and actionable information that supports evidence-based decision-making to improve mental health care in the Military Health System. We use medical administrative data (i.e., data that’s routinely collected as part of care delivery or third-party billing) to support our analytic efforts. The datasets we use contain information about care delivered directly in military treatment facilities as well as civilian-sector care covered by TRICARE and include:

• Patient demographics (e.g., age, sex, military status)
• Recorded diagnoses according to the International Classification of Diseases diagnostic codes
• Medical procedures/activities performed (based on a variety of medical procedural codes)
• Care settings (for example, primary care, specialty mental health, or emergency department)
• Prescriptions written and medications dispensed
• Provider information (for example, medical specialty, credentialing level, or assigned clinic)
• Cost of care delivered

Our analytic services can assist with your needs for clinical surveillance, program evaluation, medical intelligence, and data visualization.

We can deliver information about the prevalence and incidence of mental health conditions among service members and answer questions such as those provided below. (Click on each question to reveal the answer.)
