Which of the following is not one of the principles guiding the TRICARE program?

Employee satisfaction is not a guiding principle of the TRICARE program. The focus of TRICARE is primarily on providing access to healthcare and ensuring the effective management of healthcare resources for military personnel and their families. The program emphasizes implementing managed care to provide efficient and streamlined healthcare services, maintaining central oversight paired with local accountability to adapt to the needs of specific populations, and achieving effective use of information systems to enhance healthcare delivery and management. These principles are designed to optimize health services rather than specifically focusing on metrics related to employee happiness or satisfaction.
