50 hours per week;

Deputy Comptroller;

Naval Hospital Bremerton; HPO1 Boone Rd, Code (07), Bremerton, WA, 98312;

Linda Detweiler; 360-***-****

I was the Deputy Comptroller / Deputy Director for Resources and Logistics

(DRL) for Naval Hospital Bremerton (NHB). In addition, I was the Department

Head of Fiscal and have also been the Department Head of Equipment

Management. NHB is directly responsible to the Line Commander at Navy

Region Northwest (RLC) and is a critical component of fleet readiness to

the Pacific Fleet in the Heath and Welfare Program. I had responsibility

for regional maintenance and reporting for Appropriation; Cost accounting;

Plant Property Accounting and Reconciliation and Financial Inventory

Reporting. The Command has Regional Purchasing Authority; therefore, I

managed materiel procurement to include all facets of logistics and was

responsible for the management of numerous reimbursable account ledgers

from varying activities.

In addition, this commands supports the TRICARE Lead Agent (LA) in

providing a more integrated regional tri-service health care delivery

system by optimizing all regional resources; increasing cost effective

Medical Treatment Facility (MTF) utilization through appropriate civilian

health care recapture; reducing overall cost of regional health care

delivery; implementing the tenets of population health and providing a test

bed for improved management practices that might be implemented throughout

the Military Health System (MHS). NHB provides comprehensive inpatient and

ambulatory health care services to Navy and Marine Corps units of the

operating forces, shore activities and other authorized beneficiaries as

prescribed by Title 10 U.S. code, limited only by available space and

resources. NHB is the only local Military Treatment Facility to provide

support to:

Puget Sound Naval Shipyard (PSNS);

Naval Undersea Warfare Center, Keyport (NUWC);

Naval Submarine Base Bangor and tenant activities (NAVSUBASE);

Naval Station Bremerton (NAVSTABREM);

Naval Station Everett (NAVSTAEVERETT);

and all their tenant activities

I frequently conferred with officials, managers, professionals and

employees of the RLC, Regional Lead Agent (RLA), the Bureau of Medicine and

Surgery (BUMED), Healthcare Support Office (HSO), military and civilian

hospital comptrollers, other commands and outside agencies including fiscal

and logistic personnel of Navy Medical Logistic Command (NAVMEDLOGCOM),

NAVCOMPT, Navy Medical Logistic Command (NMLC), BUMED, Defense Health

Affairs, CLNCPACFLT, congressional representatives and Senior Executive

Service personnel in Washington, D.C. The purposes of the contacts were to

independently plan, coordinate or conduct resource requirements. Other

contacts were for interviews, meetings, or conferences for reviewing or

planning management business, and to justify funding and other resources

required to meet our mission.

I provided the RLC, LA, Commanding Officer (CEO) and Executive Officer

(V.P. Operations) with a total resources and logistics picture of the

region or each activity within the region and provided recommendations for

effective management. I personally advised management on matters pertaining

to financial, materiel/equipment management and staff resources. In

addition I coordinated, implemented and executed policy and procedures

relative to departments in the Resource and Logistics Directorate. I led

the development of budget plans, and participated in administrative

decisions regarding resources and support, and in formulating hospital

policy and devising procedures essential to the achievement of strategic

goals.

I oriented, conferred with, and advised members of the Executive Steering

Committee (ESC), directors and department heads of matters of resource

allocation and availability. I analyzed program requirements and problems

in relation to resources and logistics matters and developed policies,

which within the framework of applicable statues and regulations

facilitated the most efficient overall accomplishment of the hospital's

mission. In addition, during any absence of the DRL I was responsible for

Materiel Management, which included purchasing and contracting; Central

Sterile Supply and Replenishment and linen services (CSSR); and warehouse

receiving, storing and distribution functions.

I directly supervised five GS-12 and GS-l1 Division Officers. I provided

technical and administrative direction, guidance and control over the

following major functional areas:

Accounting, including Timekeeping, Reimbursable accounts and Travel;

Budget formulation, justification and execution;

Statistical Reporting including Medical Expense Reporting System (MEPRS);

Manpower Management including billet structure and support of personnel;

Uniform Business Office, including the Third Party Collection Programs and

Admissions;

Equipment Management including inventory and accountability; and

Biomedical Equipment Maintenance and Repair

In addition I provided management oversight to over 70 civilian employees

and military personnel to approve leave, initiate and take disciplinary

action, evaluate performance, assign and review tasks, distribute

directorate workload and review final products. I interpreted broad policy

statements and basic financial regulations promulgated by the most senior

level of financial management within BUMED and the Department of Defense

(DoD) to assess the impact of new and revised legislation on budgetary

formulation and execution.

I was responsible to ensure that the guidelines and regulation as set forth

in the Chief, Financial Officer's Act Federal Appropriation Laws,

Comptroller General decisions, requirements and administrative policies and

precedents were enforced. I analyzed program budget requirements and

advised the ESC and program managers regarding available resources and

logistic constraints and developed justification and execution policies

within the framework of applicable statues and regulations that most

effectively and efficiently accomplished the hospital's mission.

I analyzed the potential effects of budgetary actions and projected the

viability and attainment of programs and objectives of Naval Hospital

Bremerton. I developed plans and timing for obtaining required funding for

new or modified programs.

I supervised the Uniform Business Office, which includes third party

insurance billing, medical affirmative claims, inpatient billing and

collection agent and admitting functions. In this position I developed,

and instituted policies, programs and plans that improved the efficiency

and effectiveness of NHB's functional areas. These efforts generated an

increase of reimbursement over the three years. I instituted procedures and

policies for the implementation of the Outpatient Itemized Billing (OIB)

program. I monitored and controlled the financial reports generated from

the Standard Accounting and Reporting System-Field Level (STARS-FL) to

accumulate complete and accurate cost and plant account data for NHB's

resource management requirements. I provided guidance on maintaining

standardized, and creating local, job order structures to accurately

allocate resource utilization. I provided direction, guidance and control

over the appropriation and fund accounting, cost accounting and accrual

basis and revenue accounting.

I supervised preparation of all emergent, monthly, quarterly, and annual

financial budgeting reports required from local or higher authority. I

insured that regional and local accounting procedures were conducted in an

accurate and efficient manner in consonance with the accounting

requirements established by Navy Comptroller Defense Health Affairs and the

Bureau of Medicine and Surgery.

I examined and analyzed statistical reporting using multiple systems,

including the Standardized Medical Analysis and Reporting Tool (SMART);

Fast Data; MEPR; Military Medical Labor (MML) Expense Assignment System

(EASIV); Third Party Collection System (TPOCS); Composite Health Care

System (CHCS), including the Ambulatory Data System (ADS) and Military

Service Accounts (MSA); Standard Personnel Management System (SPMS);

Defense Property Accounting System (DPAS); BIOFACS, Defense Medical

Logistic Supply System (DMLSS); Standard Procurement System (SPS); Medical

Data Mart (M2) and STARS-FL and other official accounting and resource

allocation systems using various software and methods to identify workload

cost and personnel utilization trends.

I analyzed variances from plans, recommend and monitor remedial actions and

ensured that all programs and activities were effective, efficient,

appropriately documented, integrated and reflective of Joint Commission on

Accreditation of Healthcare Organization (JCAHO), DoD and BUMED standards.

Data Quality Manager

In addition to the duties I performed as the Fiscal Officer I was also the

Data Quality Manager (DQM). I networked with other DQMs throughout the MHS

and also with the Navy, Air Force and Army's program managers to research,

develop and improve the DoD mandated Data Quality Management Control

Program (DQMCP). I worked with members of the ESC, department heads and

functional users of workload and labor and reporting systems to implement

programs and techniques to improve data reliability, validity and

timeliness throughout all levels of the organization; such as, outpatient

medical coding and workload data quality. This program crosses a number of

functional boundaries within the MTF and across the MHS, therefore I

planed, conducted and interpreted statistical analyses of workload and

financial trends used to prepare analytical reports submitted to the MTF

executive committee, HSO, LA, BUMED, TMA, and external auditors and

agencies.
