File: 970207_aadci_069.txtODS MEDICAL LESSONS LEARNED C3I and TRAINING CATEGORIES 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.
