Theater Medical Information Program - Joint (TMIP-J)
Abstract
The Theater Medical Information Program - Joint (TMIP-J) integrates components of the Military Health System sustaining base systems and the Services medical information systems to ensure timely interoperable medical support for mobilization, deployment and sustainment of all Theater and deployed forces in support of any mission. TMIP-J enhances the clinical care and information capture at all levels of care in Theater, transmits critical information to the Theater Commander, the evacuation chain for combat and non-combat casualties, and forges the theater links of the longitudinal health record to the sustaining base and the Department of Veterans Affairs. TMIP-J is the medical component of the Global Combat Support System. TMIP-J provides information at the point of care and to the Theater tactical and strategic decision makers through efficient, reliable data capture, and data transmission to a centralized Theater database. This delivers TMIP-J´s four pillars of information support through the electronic health record, integrated medical logistics, patient movement and tracking, and medical command and control through data aggregation, reporting and analysis tools for trend analysis and situational awareness. TMIP-J fulfills the premise of "Train as you fight" through the integration of components which are identical or analogous to systems from the sustaining base. TMIP-J adapts and integrates these systems to specific Theater requirements and assures their availability in the no- and low- communications settings of the deployed environment through store and forward capture and transmission technology. Operational Medicine Support (OpMedSpt):Due to the unique nature of the operational environment, the Military Health System must modernize the following capabilities: medical command and control (MC2); medical situational awareness (MSA) (aggregation of operational medical data at a classified level, denying the enemy access to data which could reveal operational plans); Defense blood management; assemblage management; and data interoperability with the pending EHR solution and operational allies. The clinical needs of the operational community are to be met by the pending EHR solution, but there are functional needs, outside the capture of clinical data, to inform decision making regarding the ability of the MHS to meet the needs of the medically ready force, to support the joint warfighter and share data with line systems. It will support mission delivery and execution through the maximization of information technologies, driving standards compliance to ensure non-EHR capabilities will effectively consume the data created through the use of the pending EHR solution in the operational environment, and to allow the solution to share data with these other capabilities, eliminating the need for one to one interfaces, their limitations and cost. Along with the need to modernize those non-clinical capabilities, this enterprise's risk mitigation strategy also supports ongoing missions and clinical needs in the operational environment until sufficient testing of pending solutions can be accomplished in environments indicative of the operational environments, tactical, mobile and dismounted. TMIP-J (MSAT, TMDS, DCAM, TRAC2ES, AHLTA-T, MCC (formerly AHLTA-Mobile), Single Sign On, MMM, SAMS, and TC2) is the “umbrella” system for these solutions and the functional capabilities they support and achieves Full Operational Capability (FOC) in FY15. While the modernization of the operational environment clinical solutions (AHLTA-T, MCC (AHLTA-Mobile) and TC2) is planned to take place under the auspices of the pending EHR solution, there is currently no such plan for the non-EHR capability modernization activities. The Operational Medicine project was created to ensure the MHS is able to meet the needs of the joint warfighter, line and higher level headquarters for MC2, MSA, Defense blood management and assemblage management.
