U.S. Military Using Business Intelligence To Track Wounded Soldiers
InformationWeek
The U.S. Department of Defense is using business intelligence tools to help track and monitor injured and sick military personnel as they’re transported for medical care globally. The Trac2es system — which is short for Transcom Regulating and Command and Control Evacuation System — includes decision support, reporting, and analysis tools used for tracking and coordinating movement of patients for medical care, said Lt. Col. Keith Lostroh, functional program manager of Trac2es. By entering into the system critical information about a patient, including demographic data and clinical data about the severity of an injury, military personnel can make better informed decisions about things like whether it’s safe for the patient to fly to another facility for care and how quickly that needs to happen.
