Model Use of Innovative MEDLOG Data Management Technologies and Industry Best Practices: Architecture, Data Transactions Model and Prototype for a Highly Scalable, Integrated, and Just in Time Defense Medical Logistics Enterprise to Support Next Gen Theater/Operational Medicine

Abstract

This report supports, in part, the ongoing technical refresh of the Defense Medical Logistics Standard Support (DMLSS). The overall goal of this effort is to enable Defense Health Agency (DHA) medical logistics (MEDLOG) to optimize performance and provide best-value services. In Phase 1, the ASU Team performed an analysis of current industry/academic supply chain and logistics progressive (best) practices, future trends and technical capabilities, and emerging technologies for evaluation and potential adoption. In Phase 2, the ASU Team built upon the characterization of defense medical logistics and the resulting recommendations identified in Phase 1 through two work streams: (1) the development of a prototype for recall management and (2) the development of a roadmap for targeted functions of a fully integrated supply chain organization (FISCO) to reach industry best practice (IBP) and beyond. The prototype provides visibility and tracking of alerts, provides information to shape responses, and ultimately contributes to positive patient outcomes. The roadmap identifies detailed milestones to enable DHA to advance to IBPs. Areas considered are product standardization and sourcing, authoritative data, contracting, inventory and asset management and product recalls. The roadmap considers processes, technologies, and strategies for evaluation and potential adoption to meet the end goal of enhancing defense medical logistics performance.
