Defense Medical Logistics Standard Support (DMLSS) (Tri-Service)
Abstract
Purpose: DMLSS provides a standard Department of Defense (DoD) medical logistics system. DMLSS suite of applications provides healthcare driven capability to support medical logistics needs for critical medical commodities - pharmaceuticals and medical/surgical supplies across continuum of care from the battlefield to tertiary care at a major DoD military treatment facility (MTF). This capability is enabled by the partnership of the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) – Troop Support Medical and the Military Health System (MHS) providing an industry to practitioner supply chain for the medical commodity. The DMLSS DLA Wholesale (DMLSS-W) applications are funded by DLA while the garrison medical treatment facilities and theater applications are funded by the Defense Health Program. Goal: The current DMLSS system provides full spectrum capability for medical logistics management. Benefits: Stock control, Prime Vendor operations, preparation of procurement documents, research and price comparison for products, property accounting, biomedical maintenance operations, capital equipment, property management, inventory, and a facility management application that supports the operations of a fixed MTF physical plant and supports the Joint Commission accreditation requirements. DMLSS, in coordination with Joint Operational Medicine Information Systems (JOMIS), is providing to Services and Combatant Commanders the logistics capabilities necessary to rapidly project and sustain joint medical capabilities for medical logistics management of theater medical materiel operations. Products deployed to the theater include the DMLSS Customer Assistance Module (DCAM), a medical logistics ordering tool that allows users to view their supplier’s catalog and generate electronic orders. Primarily focused on the theater environment, DCAM automates the Class VIII supply process at lower levels of care, and allows non-logisticians to electronically exchange catalog, order, and status information with their supply activity. The Joint Medical Asset Repository (JMAR) provides Enterprise asset visibility and business intelligence tool. JMAR is web-based application that provides Enterprise medical logistics (MEDLOG) asset visibility, transactional data and business intelligence (BI) and Decision Support (DS) across the MHS. Stakeholders: MHS and DLA troop support. Customers: medical logisticians, biomedical technicians, clinical staff, and facilities management personnel in MTFs
