Traditionally, USAR providers fulfilling 90-day theater rotations deploy with minimal or no exposure to the MC4 system before their boots hit the ground. As a result, they face a heavy learning curve when they are injected into the EMR workflow in theater.
To help these deploying providers, MC4 training will now be available at the Army Medical Department (AMEDD) Professional Management Command (APMC) at Fort Gillem, Ga. Last month, MC4 provided a four-hour block of instruction on AHLTA-T, TC2 and TMDS to USAR providers processing through APMC before rotating into theater.
We’ll continue building on this “train-the-trainer” program so that the APMC training team can better preparing our PROFIS medical workforce for what’s expected of them in theater. This represents a significant step in institutionalizing MC4 training for our deployable medical workforce.
