Army equips Baghdad embassy with e-health system
E-Health Trend Watch, February 17, 2006
The Army has equipped the clinic at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, Iraq, with laptop computers. The computers include the field version of the Defense Department's electronic medical information system. The medical staff at the embassy can use the laptops to electronically order laboratory, radiology, and pharmacy services. The Army's Medical Communications for Combat Casualty Care (MC4) organization provided the laptops and software at the request of the 728th Medical Company, which wanted to streamline medical care. MC4 has deployed more than 9,000 systems to more than 250 medical units operating in Iraq since 1999. Its major software packages include electronic medical record systems and logistics, patient tracking, and medical surveillance systems.
