Combat health logistics cannot operate solely on the basis of historical data. physician judgment, environmental factors, and the peculiarities of the patient's condition affect demand for an item. Combat health aids must remain under the control and supervision of the medical commander.
COMBAT HEALTH LOGISTICS
COMBAT HEALTH LOGISTICS SYSTEM
It should be noted that this will reduce the mission capability of the MEDLOG Battalions and should only be directed under emergency conditions. Combat Health Logistics Structure The CHLS is structured to provide the flexibility, mobility and capability to support continuous operations and every step of deployment forces.
COMBAT HEALTH LOGISTICS ORGANIZATIONS
The MEDLOG (Forward) Battalion maintains limited elements of the Medical Readiness Program (MEDSTEP) to support medical equipment maintenance repair programs. The MEDLOG (rear) battalion is the single MEDLOG support point of contact for the battlefield, providing support to both EAC units and MEDLOG (forward) battalions.
SUPPLY OPERATIONS Section I. THE DIVISION
The DMOC coordinates with the Division/Corps MCC for the routine delivery of supplies to the forward areas. The DMOC Staff is responsible to the Division Support Command (DISCOM) Commander for the oversight of CHS personnel within the DISCOM.
THE CORPS
The Medical Materiel Management Division is responsible for planning, coordinating, and prioritizing MEDLOG and medical equipment maintenance programs for the division. The HSMO exercises technical control for all Class VIII operations within the division and manages the MEDLOG support operation for the division.
ECHELONS ABOVE CORPS
If requests The ASMB provides medical supply support that cannot be filled from stock, they will be forwarded to other medical elements and non-medical units to the support MEDLOG battalion (forward).
BLOOD SUPPORT
Directs the issuance of blood components from the BTC to the blood bank platoon, MEDLOG battalion (forward/rear). 4) The blood bank platoon (MEDLOG battalion [forward/rear]) is the direct source of issue for MTFs, medical units, and other users within its geographic AOR. Blood supply management and resupply operations are coordinated directly with the supporting blood bank platoon.
ROLE OF MEDICAL EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE
Supervisors should set goals to maximize the training and licensing of division personnel on assigned equipment requiring PMCS. Commanders and supervisors must provide ongoing training and licensing programs to ensure that learned skills are sustained over time.
LEVELS OF MEDICAL EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF EACH LEVEL
Maintenance assignment schedules are used to determine specific actions at each level of maintenance support. Run a repair parts program with Class VIII and Class IX repair parts, as well as other base class parts, for medical equipment. Establish adequate administrative procedures for the control and documentation of maintenance services and functions IAW Technical Bulletin (TB) 38-750-2.
Provision of any authorized maintenance functions that exceed the authority, capacity or capability of unit maintenance. Provision of UL maintenance (by the MEDLOG battalion [forward] or medical detachment) to medical units in the CZ without an organic unit maintenance capability. Notify the next higher level of maintenance support of requirements for on-site MSTs and/or evacuation of unserviceable equipment or higher level PCBs and modules.
Provide UL maintenance (by the MEDLOG [rear] battalion) to medical units within the COMMZ without an organic unit maintenance capability. Provide on-site support to units and DS units through cannibalization operations Fabrication of repair parts while notifying the next higher layer of maintenance support requirements for on-site MST and/or evacuation of unserviceable. Provision of end items, PCBs, modules and repair parts through established programs in support of TOE units.
MEDICAL EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE SUPPORT
Office of Medical Supply Division Maintenance of medical equipment is an important responsibility of DMSO. DMSO exercises its medical maintenance responsibilities by overseeing the UL medical equipment maintenance program. Medical devices requiring maintenance beyond the organic capabilities of the owning unit are recovered/evacuated by the owning unit in DMSO.
Special medical companies will receive. maintenance of medical equipment by ASMB or the nearest medical company capable of supporting them. DMSO medical maintenance personnel must develop a program to ensure that the division's medical equipment is operational and ready to go to war. Operation of a medical device repair parts program to include Class VIII and IX as well as other commodity class parts.
Ideally, equipment will be repaired in the field by either organic medical equipment repairers or by the MST of the MEDLOG battalion (forward). Combat health support, beyond the capability of the treatment team, to the COMMZ hospitals will require varying degrees of medical equipment maintenance from the maintenance elements of the MEDLOG battalion (rear). This center is responsible for reviewing and analyzing claims and computer requirements for in-theater medical equipment maintenance.
THEATER HOSPITAL MEDICAL EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE
FSMC submits request for replacement to MSMC via best available communications with delivery back to requester. If the appropriate materials are not available at the MSMC or the recipe exceeds the fabrication capability of the MSMC, it is passed to the battalion MEDLOG (forward) for fabrication with the recipe returned to the requester. All requests for prescription glasses are forwarded through data link to battalion MEDLOG (forward) for fabrication and return to requester.
Prescriptions and/or replacement requests that cannot be met from supplies on hand or that exceed ASMB capacity are forwarded to the MEDLOG Battalion (Forward) via best available communication with delivery back to the requester. Any prescriptions requested from the MEDLOG (Front) Battalion Optical Section that cannot be filled are forwarded to the MEDLOG (Rear) Battalion by delivery of the request back to the originating medical activity. Prescriptions and/or substitution requests that cannot be filled from on-hand inventory or that exceed ASMB capacity are forwarded to MEDLOG.
The MEDLOG (Rear Section) Battalion provides unified and multi-vision support to the EAC and GS (Support) Corps. The general assigned to combat medical care logistics units under operational capability rules (OPFAC) is This chapter provides an overview of the C2. It is the backbone of the corps system and is deployed from the rear of the corps to the main command post of the maneuver battalion.
THEATER ARMY MEDICAL MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM
These reports allow the user to create, edit, delete and print reports of his own design. The user can also print the system file structure and the printable fields within each file. Work order processing allows planning, scheduling, tracking and reporting of medical equipment maintenance work orders.
It also allows the user to identify and track the status of equipment directly supported by local MEDMNT personnel. This enables the unit to maintain inventory of items needed to support the MEDMNT mission. It also allows the maintenance unit to interface with the supply system through the unit-level logistics system to request non-medical repair parts.
This allows the user—. Entering routine and emergency customer requests for medical equipment. This allows the user–. View the current stock status, payment history, transaction history and demand history on the screen. This due-in exception record process allows the user to create, modify, delete an exception file, customer demand exception file, and print user-designed temporary reports.
