Defense Medical Logistics Standard Support (DMLSS) (Tri-Service)
Abstract
DMLSS provides the Military Medical Departments one standard Department of Defense (DoD) medical logistics system. The DMLSS suite of applications provides the healthcare driven capability to support the medical logistics needs of the DoD community for critical medical commodities - pharmaceuticals and medical/surgical supplies across the 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) Defense Supply Center Philadelphia and the Military Health System (MHS) providing an industry to practitioner supply chain for the medical commodity. The DMLSS Defense Logistics Agency Wholesale (DMLSS-W) applications are funded by Defense Logistics Agency while the garrison medical treatment facilities and theater applications are funded by the Defense Health Program. The current DMLSS system provides full spectrum capability for medical logistics management. Basic functionality includes 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 medical treatment facility physical plant and supports Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) accreditation requirements. DMLSS, in coordination with the Theater Medical Information Program – Joint (TMIP-J), is providing to the Services and the Combatant Commanders the functional logistics capabilities necessary to rapidly project and sustain joint medical capabilities for medical logistics management of theater medical materiel operations. Current 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 the lower levels of care, and allows non-logisticians, who maintain their medical supplies as an additional duty, to electronically exchange catalog, order, and status information with their supply activity.
