 Welcome to All Hands Update. I'm Petty Officer Tony Rosa. The Navy's Surgeon General has a message for sailors worldwide. On May 28th, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel ordered a 90-day comprehensive review of the Military Health System, or MHS. The Navy's Surgeon General, Vice Admiral Matthew Nathan, worked with internal and external review experts to conduct the review. The review of MHS examined access, patient safety and the quality of care. MHS was compared to the benchmarks of national health care, and the review found that MHS is comparable to most health care systems in the U.S. In some cases, MHS was outperforming the nation's best while in other areas, MHS was lagging behind. The Surgeon General says there will be more to come as the Navy aggressively implements changes to address the review's recommendations.
