The U.S. Military, Managing Medical Information from the Battlefield



For the first time in the history of the U.S. Military, battlefield information
management and information technology systems are enabling improved quality of care
and communications by capturing information electronically.

The Theater Medical Information Program - Joint, a Department of Defense (DoD) and
Military Health System (MHS) program provides information management tools to the
U.S. Military's deployed medical community. This mobile, flexible software system,
designed for low-to-no communications environments, supports clinical care
documentation, medical supply and equipment tracking, patient movement visibility,
and health surveillance in a deployed setting. TMIP-J operates on a combination of
hand-held devices, notebooks and deployable servers and mirrors the capabilities of
the Military's U.S.-based medical information management systems.

TMIP-J carries out Presidential and Congressional requirements for establishing a
life-long electronic health record for all Service members. Since May 2005, TMIP-J
applications have electronically captured more than 1.2 million medical encounters.
Patient data is available in near real-time through the DoD Central Data Repository
to approved medical personnel throughout the MHS.

This presentation will delve into the challenges and successes TMIP-J faces during
the development, update and integration process of the applications supporting the
Theater medical business practice, including lessons learned.
