Needs and Uses: The 60th Medical Group (60 MDG) at David Grant Medical Center on Travis Air Force Base is taking part in a pilot program for Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) family members. The goal of this pilot program is to connect EFMP families with quality medical and non-medical resources to support and care for their family members. In this pilot program, EFMP family members at David Grant are being provided with “Care Maps” that identify resources tailored to their diagnoses. 60 MDG intends to conduct a web-based survey to solicit feedback on the efficacy and usefulness of these resources, as well as feedback from EFMP families at David Grant that have not received specialized maps to understand their experience in obtaining EFMP care without said resources. Survey results will be used as part of a larger evaluation of this pilot program, which was requested by the Director of Defense Health Affairs. Moreover, in pursuant of DoD Instruction 1315.19, “Exceptional Family Member Program,” there shall be monitoring and evaluation of the EFMP including “establishing and implementing a mechanism to obtain the level of satisfaction of military families with special needs enrolled in the EFMP with the support provided.”

Affected Public: Individuals or households.
