Systematic review reveals key competencies in financial management for CFOs in military healthcare, suggesting a unified training framework.
Introduction The evolving demands of military healthcare require Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) in military medical treatment facilities (MTFs) to possess advanced financial competencies to ensure efficiency and compliance with federal regulations. Materials and Methods This systematic review, conducted using PRISMA guidelines, analyzed studies from PubMed, CINAHL, EMBASE, PsycINFO, and Google Scholar published between 2014 and 2024 to identify CFO competencies in military healthcare, focusing on strategic thinking, business integration, human capital management, digital literacy, and financial management. Results Ten studies were included, revealing 5 critical competency areas: strategic thinking, business integration, human capital management, digital literacy, and financial management, which informed a unified training framework for military healthcare financial officers across all service branches. Conclusions A standardized training pathway aligning with these competencies can enhance financial leadership in MTFs, improving resource management and operational readiness within the Defense Health Agency.
