C-22. The MC4 system is the Army component of the Joint Theater Medical Information Program (TMIP). Residing on MC4 hardware, TMIP software applications will enable digital documentation of health care, medical surveillance, individual medical readiness, unit medical readiness, and medical logistics throughout the spectrum of health care. Medical information will be stored on local databases at the BAS, the BSS, BSMC, and BSB. This information will be accessible to the brigade surgeon, commander, and brigade SPO to assist in planning and executing AHS operations and to provide commanders with medical situational awareness.
C-23. The current TMIP software applications that will enable the medical business functionalities in theater are presented in the following paragraphs. Pursuant to a spiral acquisition strategy, current TMIP capabilities with be improved and more capabilities added in future increments.
Battlefield Medical Information System Tactical–Joint (BMIST-J). This application resides on a handheld computer and provides a capability to record demographic and limited clinical encounter information required during the initial health encounter. This application is the primary system used by combat medics at the treatment and evacuation team level.
Armed Forces Health Longitudinal Technology Application (AHLTA). This commercial off- the-shelf (COTS) application provides clinical encounter functionality that allows healthcare providers to document outpatient care at health care levels I through IV. It will provide data for theater medical surveillance and trend analysis. This application will be used primarily by the battalion aid station and BSMC.
Armed Forces Health Longitudinal Technology Application–New Technology (AHLTA-NT). This application provides limited order entry (pharmacy, lab, and x-ray) and patient administration functionality. This application will be used primarily in CSH and troop medical clinics.
Joint Medical Workstation II (JMeWSII). This application provides medical surveillance capability. Tools are available in JMeWSII to provide medical treatment facility patient visibility, along with support for predefined status reporting and epidemiology monitoring. A JMeWSII server provides a central collection and dissemination point for brigade, division, and corps surgeons. JMeWSII will receive data from CHCS II-T and BMIST-J.
MICROMEDEX. This application serves as the medical reference component and provides a medical reference library for theater use. MICROMEDEX is a COTS medical information database that provides information on drugs, poisons, and illnesses.
Logistics Enablers and Digitized Technology
C-24. The MC4 product management office will be responsible for acquiring and fielding interim solutions for the Army until TMIP can accommodate the capabilities. Current systems fielded by MC4 are—
Theater Army Medical Management Information System (TAMMIS) Theater Customer Assistance Module (TCAM). This application provides a capability to perform basic customer-level medical supply functions such as ordering, receiving, managing due-in, and inventory control. TCAM is the primary means for Roles 1 and 2 customers to submit Class VIII orders to supporting MEDLOG elements of units.
Joint Patient Tracking Applications (JPTA). This is a web-based system that collects, manages, analyzes, and reports healthcare data and information on patients evacuated from health care Role 3 to Role 4. Currently, JPTA is planned to be used at Role 2 through Role 4. Remote Information Data Entry System (RIDES). RIDES is a stand-alone MS Office Access™ database that provides medical protection system (MEDPROS) users a remote capability to capture individual medical readiness, immunization, and pre- and post- deployment health assessment data. It captures data when access to the MEDPROS mainframe is not available, either because connectivity is not available or Internet access is interrupted.
C-25. Deployable Teleradiology System (DTRS). This system was developed by the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command. In the future, the system will transition to MC4. This system provides the capability to transmit memory intensive x-rays, computed tomography (CT), ultrasound, or magnetic resonance digital images between deployed MTFs and specialized healthcare expertise supporting deployed mission needs.
C-26. The Transportation Command (TRANSCOM) Regulating and Command and Control Evacuation System (TRAC2ES) is a joint system that will provide and document strategic medical evacuation C2 and patient regulation between theater and supporting base hospitals. TRAC2ES will also provide patient ITV during the evacuation from level III to the sustaining base.
C-27. The MC4 system will use Army communications systems to transmit and receive medical information to and from theater databases and the sustaining base.
C-28. The MC4 product management office is responsible for integrating medical information requirements into current and emerging Army C2 and sustainment systems, such as BCS3 and GCSS-A.
PERSONNEL STAMIS
C-29. Defense Integrated Military Human Resources System (DIMHRS) is a DOD initiative to deploy a single integrated, web-centric, personnel and pay system across all the military Services.
C-30. Tactical Personnel System (TPS) is an automated tactical strength management system. It provides the field with an application that can serve as a deployment-manifesting platform for all military and civilian personnel. TPS fills the current void within the personnel automation architecture and provides the essential personnel functionality to support a commander’s tactical decisionmaking process. TPS builds a deployed personnel database.
C-31. Defense Casualty Information Processing System (DCIPS) and DCIPS-Forward DCIPS is the DOD central database and application that serves all casualty and MA case management for the armed services. DCIPS-Forward allows case managers to manage casualty cases in forward areas on laptop computers.
C-32. Replacement Operations Automated Management System (ROAMS) tracks personnel from designated points of origin to ultimate destinations and coordinates individual training at each replacement center/company/section as determined by METT-TC factors.

C-34. Enlisted Distribution and Assignment System (EDAS) is a near real time, interactive, automated system which supports the management of the enlisted force. Assignment and distribution managers in HRC-Alexandria use EDAS to create requisitions and process assignments
C-35. DTAS is software for providing personnel accountability in a TOPNS.
C-36. eMILPO is a web-based application that provides the U.S. Army with a reliable, timely, and efficient mechanism for performing personnel actions and managing personnel accountability.
C-37. iPERMS is a repository of the official military personnel file (OMPF) legal artifacts for all active Army personnel (includes Active duty, Reserve, and National Guard).
C-38. My Promotion File is a Soldier self-service application which allows enlisted Soldiers scheduled for a centralized board to review and certify the documents which go before the board.
C-39. NCO Evaluation Report Support System is a system that obtains and processes NCOERs in an accurate and timely manner. It also provides enlisted evaluation report (EER) information to DA Promotion/Selection Boards and PSC, Army Command, and DA activities with statistical data regarding the administration of the EER system.
