Medical Communications For Combat Casualty
Abstract
The Medical Communications for Combat Casualty Care (MC4) System provides multipliers to the medical force structure through the acquisition of information technology solutions for the deployable medical forces. The MC4 System fulfills 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 interfaces Force Health Protection and medical surveillance information with Army Mission Command information technology systems. The MC4 System supports other soldier protection initiatives by providing data for analyses which can be used for identification and development of 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, integration, and fielding automation infrastructure for Army users of the Theater Medical Information Program-Joint (TMIP-J) suite of software. Effort has also been initiated to integrate MC4 with the Army CIO Network 2020 and Common Operating Environment (COE) and as a program of record in the Mobile/Handheld Computing Environment Working Group. Funding provides engineering, developmental testing, and integration of information management/information technology to support Force Health Protection in accordance with the Army Equipment Modernization Plan. FY 2014 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, and other Army unique software capabilities --All other testing to include operational, security, acceptance of TMIP and other software products --Integration testing of all DHIMS/TMIP, any follow-on tactical electronic medical record, and other software systems on the MC4 baseline electronic medical record system --Research of technologies to integrate software into Army future information infrastructure, such as exploration of virtualization for MC4 --Evaluation of hardware 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. telehealth --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. Nett Warrior and FBCB2
