Novice and experienced MC4 users alike can benefit from the wealth of information available online. The Gateway is the place for MC4 users to interact with other end users and learn best practices for managing electronic medical records (EMRs), streamlining medical supply management or enhancing situational awareness. Annex F of the Commander's Guide to MC4 highlights the features and resources that are available on this public website.
The Tips and FAQs section is a must read for MC4 end users. As updates to hardware and applications are fielded, features change and processes that were once followed are modified. Each month, MC4 subject matter experts provide detailed step-by-step instructions and answers to frequently asked questions to assist medical staff in navigating these changes. Templates and forms are also available to providers, nurses and medics to assist with patient care documentation.
Additionally, MC4 gurus regularly blog about how MC4 is being used and offer suggestions on overcoming challenges. MC4 users around the world also share their stories in field blogs, and are always welcome to share their story.
If the answer to a question isn't addressed in a tip, FAQ or blog, consider reaching out to the MC4 team. The Gateway is the main portal for requesting MC4 materials, training and assistance, or contact the appropriate region support office directly for more information.
