  • Data analysis focused on identifying key cost drivers throughout a facility's lifespan.
  • Life cycle cost assessment methodologies were adapted for the military context.

Main Results:

  • The study identified critical factors influencing the long-term costs of medical facilities.
  • Specific techniques for estimating initial, operational, and disposal costs were detailed.
  • Comparative analysis highlighted differences between private and military facility cost structures.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed investment strategy and life cycle costing techniques offer a valuable tool for military health care financial planning.
  • Implementing these methods can lead to more efficient resource management and cost savings.
  • This approach supports strategic investment decisions to enhance military medical readiness.
