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 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 2020 Base funding in the amount of $0.056 million will be used for the engineering effort required to evaluate initiatives that improve the performance of the Defense Healthcare Management Systems (DHMS) Electronic Health Record software on the Army platform, as well as the engineering effort for other Army unique capabilities. Activities include: --Monitor research and development activities with Research partners (United States Army Medical Research and Materiel Command, and United States Army Communications-Electronics Research, Development and Engineering Center) to identify emerging technologies for potential insertion into the electronic health record system.
