Medical Communications For Combat Casualty
Abstract
The Medical Communications for Combat Casualty Care (MC4) System interfaces Force Health Protection and medical surveillance information with Army Mission Command information technology systems. 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 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 Chief Information Office (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 2018 Base funding in the amount of $.390 million will be used for the engineering effort required to evaluate initiatives that improve the performance of the Defense Health Medical Systems (DHMS) Theater Medical Information Program-Joint (TMIP-J) software on the Army platform, as well as the engineering effort for other Army unique capabilities. Activities include: --Research of technologies to integrate software into Army future information infrastructure and meet common operating environment requirements --Evaluation of hardware technology obsolescence and solutions
