Test and Evaluation of Medical Data Surveillance System at Navy and Marine Corps MTFs

Abstract

Recent Department of Defense (DoD) directives call for joint medical surveillance. Joint Vision 2010-2020 states the goals of Information Superiority and Full Spectrum Dominance. In addition, the emphasis on early detection of chemical and biological attacks makes it imperative to conduct rigorous testing and evaluation (T&E) of medical informatics technologies under development to enhance joint force protection. The Medical Data Surveillance System (MDSS) is a Web-based automated surveillance and data analysis tool intended to integrate medical information for surveillance of deployed forces and patient populations in the United States. The present study evaluated MDSS version 3.1, focusing on its functioning and utility for end users at Navy and Marine Corps MTFs.
