New medical technologies are a leading driver of U.S. health care
spending. This report identifies promising policy options to change
which medical technologies are created, with two related policy
goals: (1) Reduce total health care spending with the smallest
possible loss of health benefits, and (2) ensure that new medical
products that increase spending are accompanied by health benefits
that are worth the spending increases.
Presents findings and policy recommendations on internships in
support of DoDOs goal of determining effective ways to recruit the
civilian workforce it needs to replace the large number of retiring
workers and to respond to the workforce changes likely to accompany
the impending U.S. military transformation. The Department of
Defense faces a challenge: how to replace a large number of
retiring civilian workers and provide the larger civilian workforce
likely to be needed for the impending U.S. military
transformationOs new force structure. One goal in meeting this
challenge is to find effective recruitment methods. The authors
offer policy recommendations for DoD intern programs based on
interviews with managers of public- and private-sector intern
programs, literature reviews, and personnel data analyses.
The Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) provides finance
and accounting services to customers within the Department of
Defense. The authors examine the DFAS pricing structure and its

pricing. The authors found that the DFAS's uniform pricing for
finance outputs creates cross-customer subsidization, suggesting a
need for nonlinear, customer-specific pricing. The authors also
examine whether any negative effects arose from the October 1999
switch from unit billing to hourly billing for DFAS accounting work
and found no significant evidence that they had.
