FUNCTIONAL AREA DESCRIPTION MEDICAL REGULATING ANNEX B, FOR THE STUDY OF A METHOD FOR INTEGRATION OF MEDICAL ACCOUNTING, REPORTING, SUPPLY, AND REGULATING OF THE ARMY IN THE FIELD INTO THE ADSAF PROGRAM.

Abstract

Medical regulating is that part of the overall sphere of medical operations which coordinates and controls the movement of patients to the medical facilities which are best able to provide care at that time. Many factors are considered in controlling the movement of patients through the hospitalization and evacuation system. Some of these factors are current bed status of treatment facilities (i.e., beds occupied, not occupied); surgical backlog in hours; location of facilities with specialty capabilities; number and location of patients by diagnostic category; tactical situation in the combat zone; location of airfields and railheads; medical resources available at each treatment facility; and availability of transportation.
