C3I ISSUE NO. 2 Patient Regulating, Manifesting, and Tracking
(SGHR ITEMS NOs. 55, 56, 66, 129, 133, 211)
DISCUSSION: Different organizations had various trouble getting the
information on patients that they desired: CONUS MTFs getting manifests of
incoming missions; EUCOM desires for patient information (e.g., special
equipment, special transportation requirements, etc.); commanders, family
members, and the media desires for information on patients. In Europe, a
computer patient locator system was developed to track patients. Data was
EUCOM. The system was connected through the Defense Data Network (DDN) and
allowed all required information to be passed quickly. Some aspects of the
system were redundant to casualty affairs mission. USN, USMC, and USA did not
allow information to be released. JMRO and desert MIFs did not provide
tracking.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Refer to APES/DMRIS working group to address. Need a new
system that can provide greater level of detailed patient information.
Establish a Joint Service Patient Tracking System. OPR should be personnel
(DP) rather than medical to follow all patients. The tracking center should be
in CONUS.
ACTIONS REQUIRED: Refer issue to APES/DMRIS working group and monitor
progress.
ACTIONS COMPLETED: APES/DMRIS working group addressing issue. CIM Project and
AMC are actively pursuing a Theater Medical Information System and a Patient
Tracking System. Integration of the projects is underway with expectations of
providing a system for communicating status of patients and meet requirements
for patient tracking for Joint use.
STATUS: OPEN.
