MedXellence is an MHS-relevant, actively managed course with a continuously updated curriculum. It uses many of the same expert educational faculty and powerful teaching methods that have established the Uniformed Services University as a leader in federal medicine education. By continuously working with the MHS to design MedXellence, we strive to deliver the most relevant curriculum, expand upon the existing competencies of MHS executives, and develop tailored leadership strategies. The MedXellence course places a focus on decision support tools, including the TRICARE Operations Center (TOC), MHS Population Health Portal, and the Tri-Service Business Planning Tool, among others.

A goal of the Military Health System (MHS) is to provide high quality, cost effective care in a manner that provides high satisfaction for all care-givers and beneficiaries. The provision of such care requires that MHS leaders have the leadership skills and decision-making ability to facilitate the delivery of these service attributes and outcomes. These leadership and decision-making skills depend upon the leaders having access to and the ability to use relevant, timely, and valid information. The data from which this information is derived exists across the MHS, and there are a variety of tools to gather, analyze, and report the needed information. A primary function of the USUHS MedXellence course is to serve as a major educational resource, and to supply awareness of these resources to executive leaders across the enterprise. MedXellence is designed to educate leaders to ask the right questions, obtain the appropriate data, and lead organizational improvement.

Overall Goal: MTF Leaders will increase their competence and efficacy in fulfillment of the JMESI criteria and organizational excellence.

The course is composed of inter-related modules that emphasize learning through web-based course pre-work, classroom lectures, workshops, an interwoven case study, and small group educational activities. MedXellence educates MHS executives on current MHS issues through integrating knowledge about the following competencies as prescribed by the Joint Medical Executive Skills Group:

  • Strategic Planning
