Abstract:

Current labor intensive manual methods of information processing aboard fleet units render comprehensive health maintenance and patient care objectives unattainable. This report describes the functional concepts in the design of a Shipboard Medical Information System. Key subordinate activities are identified in each of the four primary functional areas. Considerations to the number and size of ships to which this system would be applied are discussed. Examples are provided for potential system support modules. Originator-supplied keywords include Independent Duty Corpsman Functional areas and Medical Department Representative.
