Operational Medicine Information System
Abstract
The Operational Medicine Information System-Army (OMIS-A) is the Army's single Information Management/Information Technology system for automation and digitization efforts for deployable medical forces, providing both Joint Service and Army-specific operational health information technology (OHIT) software to deployable medical care units. The OMIS-A will integrate and interface Force Health Protection and medical surveillance information with Army Mission Command information technology systems. The OMIS-A fulfills the requirements highlighted in United States Code: Title 10, Subtitle A, Part II, Chapter 55, Section 1074f, mandating the proper documentation of deployed Service members' medical treatment to include its associated medical surveillance. The near and mid term effort is the modernization of the Army component of the Defense Healthcare Management Systems (DHMS) Joint Operational Medical Information System (JOMIS) next generation electronic health record (NGEHR) software. RDTE efforts on legacy requirements for medical information technology systems completed in FY 2020. Modernized NGEHR requirements have been developed, and beginning in FY24, the OMIS-A mission is to provide increased efficiency in delivering those capabilities that have changed as technology matures. OMIS-A will integrate Joint solutions and develop additional operational medical information technology (IT) capabilities, leveraging operational communications infrastructure, that unencumber commanders, increase patient survivability and return to duty far forward on the battlefield, and contribute to the lifelong care of Soldiers, documenting and providing care from point-of-injury (POI) through the continuum of care. Documented medical data has far-reaching implications that influence everything from immediate medical situational awareness and trauma research to the lifelong care provided to the Soldier. The modernized requirements are not anticipated to be fulfilled by a single system or software program but by multiple, interoperable systems. Funding provides engineering, developmental testing, software development and integration of information management/information technology to support Force Health Protection in accordance with the medical Information Technology capabilities required for Multi Domain Operations (MDO) and Large Scale Combat Operations (LSCO). FY 2024 Base funding in the amount of $4.241 million will be used for the engineering effort required to evaluate, develop and test initiatives that improve the performance of the JOMIS NGEHR software on the Army platform. Activities include: -- Independent evaluation, verification and validation of modernized JOMIS software operating on Army infrastructure, ensuring effective operation and cyber security -- Testing on all Army networks, and Army operations on networks in foreign countries, maintaining Authority to Operate/Authority to Connect on all networks where NGEHR may reside
