Automated Travel Payment Approval Process
The Madigan Army Medical Center (MAMC) at Fort Lewis, WA has recently put into place an automated system for tracking the approval process for acceptance of travel payments from non-Federal sources. Using a data base, ethics officials are able to chronicle pertinent information such as the source of the payment, the payment's amount, the beginning and ending dates of travel, the method of payment, the date the conflict of interest analysis begins and the date it ends, and the status of the request. Charting the progress of requests, as such, appears to streamline this time-sensitive process. In addition, the data base records a thorough summary of travel payments received by MAMC employees throughout the year.
