MC4 Logistics and Engineering

The Program Executive Officer (PEO) Enterprise Information Systems (EIS) provides infrastructure and information management systems enabling the U.S. Army to achieve victory through total information dominance. PEO EIS develops, acquires, and deploys tactical and non-tactical information technology systems and communications. The Product Management Office (PMO) Medical Communications for Combat Casualty Care (MC4) is the Army's single Information Management/Information Technology system for automation and digitization efforts for deployable medical forces. The MC4 program provides fully integrated medical products and information/communications solutions to effectively and seamlessly link, vertically and horizontally, all echelons of deployable medical care. MC4 systems provide visibility of deployed medical forces and casualties, as well as, an accurate and timely means for documenting healthcare from the point of care to a centralized database - making the information available worldwide. MC4 is a (semi-) ruggedized system-of-systems containing medical software packages fielded to operational medical forces worldwide. The system is comprised of joint software, commercial and government-off-the-shelf products including Theater Medical Information Program-Joint (TMIP-J) applications provided by Defense Health Clinical Systems (DHCS), formerly Defense Health Information Management System (DHIMS). The TMIP-J applications include software for Electronic Medical Record (EMR) documentation, a web-based application that serves as a deployed EMR repository and a web-based application for conducting battlefield surveillance. Although the MC4 program doesn't create the TMIP-J software, it does provide the tools needed to digitally record and transfer critical medical data from the foxhole to medical treatment facilities around the world. With more than a decade of experience managing the Army's deployable medical recording system, MC4 remains the most widely-used, comprehensive information management medical system on the battlefield. Additional MC4 mission and background information is available at http://www.mc4.army.mil. MC4's core mission is to support Army tactical unit requirements. However, the MC4 PMO also has agreements through formal Memoranda of Agreement (MOAs) to support Navy and Air Force requirements for contingency operations on a limited basis. These other MOA requirements will be supported by the contractor under the solicited Performance Work Statement (PWS). Although these additional MOAs (and the commensurate resource requirements) are expected to be reduced or eliminated during the period of performance of this task order, changes may occur due to the nature and unpredictability of contingency operations.
