Aeromedical Data Acquisition and Communication System (AMDACS)

Abstract

The overall goal of this report was to determine how to improve medical care through the collection, analysis, storage, presentation, and communication of clinical data within and between the echelons of care. A medical mission analysis was performed which described the casualty care system, patient and information flow, major interfaces, medical decision support currently available, users of casualty data, and potential areas of significant improvement and/or enhancement. A medical information analysis was performed and strawman data flow diagrams were developed to depict the casualty care system and information flow. Both analyses provided provisional recommendations of areas for potential improvement and were designed to provide a point of departure for the AMDACS Work Group. (JS)
