Operational Medicine Support

Abstract

This initiative supports executive directives and legal mandates to ensure “…every Soldier, Sailor, Airman and Marine will have a comprehensive, life-long medical record…”(Source: Special report of the Presidential Advisory Committee on Gulf War Veterans’ Illness, 1997) and “The Secretary of Defense shall establish a system to assess the medical condition of members of the Armed Forces…who are deployed” (Source: Title 10; Section 1074f (1997): Medical tracking system for members deployed overseas). It also supports the June 21, 2013 acquisition decision memorandum from the Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics to “…focus on the goal of acquiring a replacement for the DoD legacy Military Health System (MHS) clinical systems including but not limited to…the EHR component of the Theater Medical Information Program with the objective of fielding a modernized replacement by 2017.”
