MEDICAL COMMUNICATIONS FOR COMBAT CASUALTY CARE
Abstract
The Medical Communications for Combat Casualty Care (MC4) System provides multipliers to the medical force structure through the acquisition of digital communications and information technology solutions for the deployable medical forces. The MC4 System will also fulfill the requirements highlighted in United States Code: Title 10, Subtitle A, Part II, Chapter 55, Section 1074f, mandating the proper documentation of deployed service members' medical treatment to include pre- and post-deployment screening and its associated medical surveillance. The MC4 System will interface Force Health Protection and medical surveillance information with Army Battle Command and Combat Service Support information technology systems as they evolve to support the Army Transformation. The MC4 System also indirectly supports other soldier protection initiatives such as analysis of injury data collected from the MC4 systems is used to support the identification and development of other critical soldier support systems such as body armor, improved helmets, traumatic brain injury protection and trauma reduction. Current MC4 Program efforts are focused on system engineering, testing and integration, and fielding automation infrastructure for Army users of the Joint Theater Medical Information Program (TMIP-J) suite of software. Funding provides support system engineering, integration and developmental testing of information management/information technology to better support Force Health Protection in the Army Campaign Plan and Overseas Contingency Operation units. FY12 Base funding will be used for the engineering effort required to provide the Defense Health Information Management System (DHIMS) TMIP-J software on the Army platform, as well as the engineering effort for other Army unique capability. Activities include: --Test augmentation to include development testing of TMIP (all releases until final objective), and other Army unique software capabilities --Integration testing of software systems on the MC4 baseline system --Future engineering in architecture development for better efficiency and effectiveness --Evaluation of technology obsolescence and solutions --Evaluation and testing of technology upgrades to include capabilities identification through market surveys and demonstrations --Evaluation of new health care capabilities not provided by DHIMS/TMIP, e.g. teleradiology --Test and evaluation of new capabilities and how well they work in the combat theater --Lab site studies with technology and scenarios --Interfaces with other systems, e.g. Army Brigade Combat Team Modernization
