According to a press release that we have privately received, at the upcoming 8th Annual Force Health Protection Conference 2005 in Louisville, Kentucky, the Armed Forces will demonstrate the Medical Communications for Combat Casualty Care (MC4) system. The demostration will take place on August 12 at 10:30-11:30 a.m at Galt House Hotel & Suites. The MC4 system “develops, fields and supports a medical information management system for Army tactical medical forces, enabling a comprehensive, life-long electronic medical record for all service members, and enhancing medical situational awareness for operational commanders.”
In addition:
Since its inception in 1999, MC4 has deployed 5,000+ systems to more than 200 units for contingency operations supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom. MC4 has also trained more than 10,000 deployable medical professionals and maintains its 24-7 customer support structure throughout the world. Headquartered at Fort Detrick, Md., MC4 is under the oversight of the Army Program Executive Office Enterprise Information Systems (PEO EIS) at Fort Belvoir, Va…
… PMO MC4 partners with Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab (JHU APL) to perform systems engineering, configuration management and developmental testing. MC4 works with experts from the Titan Corporation to perform systems integration and post-deployment system support. For logistical support, system administration and the training and fielding of new equipment, MC4 relies on Anteon International Corporation’s professionals to accomplish their mission.
Those of you interested in attending the demonstration, please let us know: we can forward to you the email of the press release.
