What type of team are active duty members and their beneficiaries assigned to after the mass medical in-processing briefing?

• A. TRICARE team
• B. Primary care optimization team
• C. Healy care optimization team
• D. Alternative care team

Answer: (B)

The main idea being tested is how new patients are integrated into ongoing primary care within the military health system. After the mass medical in-processing briefing, active duty members and their beneficiaries are assigned to a Primary Care Optimization Team. This team is responsible for connecting them with a primary care manager and ensuring they have coordinated, timely access to preventive and routine care, as well as smooth referrals and appointment scheduling. The goal is to establish a steady, continuous primary care relationship so care is organized and easy to navigate.

Other options don’t fit this purpose because they describe functions outside establishing ongoing primary care management. For example, a TRICARE-focused team would deal more with benefits and coverage, not the handoff to a primary care provider; and terms like the other proposed teams don’t reflect the primary care coordination aim of the in-processing briefing.
