Theater Army Medical Management Information System: A MANPRINT evaluation
Abstract
This report presents the MANPRINT portion of the Initial Operational Test and Evaluation (IOT&E) of the Theater Army Medical Management Information System (TAMMIS) and the division level version of the system, TAMMIS-D. TAMMIS/ TAMMIS-D are automated, on-line, interactive, microcomputer systems designed to manage combat medical information but capable of performing peacetime functions as well. The systems were developed to meet the needs of medical commanders by providing timely, accurate, and relevant information on the status of patients, medical units, and medical supplies on the battlefield. The IOT&E was conducted at Fort Lewis, WA in tents erected between two-story barracks building in January and February, 1988. Soldier operators and data collectors were provided by 9th ID and I Corps. Two test periods of 10 days each, 12 hours per day, were required-one for TAMMIS-D and one for TAMMIS. The TAMMIS-D test organization represented a battalion aid station, brigade surgeon. Six operators and four data collectors participated in the test of the two TAMMIS-D software subsystems. The TAMMIS test organization represented the combat support hospital, medical group, and the division surgeon. Twelve operators and nine data collectors participated in the test of the five TAMMIS software subsystems.
