DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT: The U.S. Army Medical Command has a requirement to obtain personal services of registered nurses (RNs) for the San Antonio Military Healthcare System (SAMHS) which is comprised of the San Antonio Military Medical Center (SAMMC), formerly Brooke Army Medical Center (BAMC), Fort Sam Houston, Texas; with their outlying clinics throughout the San Antonio area. SAMMC provides a broad scope of services including a level one trauma center, the Burn Unit, Amputee Center, multiple Critical Care/Intensive Care Units, Step Down Units, Medical-Surgical Units, Pediatrics, Maternal Child, Surgical Services, extensive specialty/subspecialty services supported by Graduate Medical Education program, and ambulatory clinics.
The mission of the military healthcare system (MHS) is to enhance our Nation’s security by ensuring the nation has a healthy military force capable of providing the full range of military operations supported by a combat ready healthcare system sustaining the health of DoD beneficiaries. Health care services for eligible MHS beneficiaries are provided at Military Treatment Facilities (MTFs) located on or near military installations or posts. The MTF may be a clinic, hospital, or medical center. Clinics are outpatient facilities offering primary care or simple specialty care (routine exams, tests, treatments). The clinic may be a stand-alone site or a satellite of a larger clinic, hospital, or medical center. Hospitals offer more complex, resource-intensive secondary care (e.g. inpatient care, surgery under anesthesia) and primary care at outpatient clinics inside and outside the hospital. Medical Centers offer tertiary (sophisticated diagnosis/treatment of any ailment), secondary, and primary care, hospital services, preventive services, blood bank, and outpatient services. In addition, Medical Centers offer graduate medical education programs for physicians and other training programs for nursing and ancillary personnel.
