ACC/SG Modernization Col (Dr.) Gregory Johnson HQ ACC/SGR March 2009
Overview • Mission • Perspective • Methodology • Planning • Programming • Capability Development • Current Program • Future Requirements
Mission Support the Warfighter and the Combat Medic By Providing World Class Ground Medical Capabilities for Deployed Forces. Harness Leading Edge Technology to Provide the Link Between Current and Future Capabilities for Ground Medical Units. Combat Medics Supporting the Warfighter
Perspective • Battle mortality for injured U.S. Forces have dropped from 30% in WWII to 20% in Vietnam to less than 5% in the current conflict. • The percent of Died of Wounds (DOW) has dropped significantly with improved evacuation, anesthesia, antibiotics, blood transfusions and surgical techniques.

ACC Future Requirements • Mid-Term • Directed Energy Weapons • Detect, characterize, data collection, and counter measure(s) • Natural Language Processing (NLP) • Toxin Detection • Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Detection/diagnosis/treat • Communication tactical and strategic • Bandwidth • Telemedicine • Extended Portable Electric Power • Occupational Exposure Biomarkers • Night Vision equipment • Dental Delivery System • Antibiotic resistance • Water purification
ACC Future Requirements Long-Term • Regeneration of cells/organs/limbs • Drug feed-back systems (molecular) • Treatment of Wounded Personnel • Intelligent Medical Software • Miniaturization of Medical Equipment • Vaccines • Threat from weaponized Genetically Modified Organisms • Threat from weaponized Nano-particles
Natural Language Processor (NLP) • Deployed Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems require additional funding to integrate NLP into current systems of records • Current EMR systems do not collect critical medical encounter information efficiently • This modification will upgrade the existing EMR systems to use NLP as the primary data collection mechanism for medical encounters. It ensures vital medical data is collected and recorded. • Current EMR systems are onerous to use and time consuming, requiring the provider to spend over half of their encounter time just to support the documentation. Thus medical encounter notes tend to be incomplete or of limited value.
