Army Lt. Col. Danny J. Morton has been tapped to manage the Army's Medical Communications for Combat Casualty Care (MC4) Product Management Office. The former chief of staff at the U.S. Army Medical Materiel Agency has plans to expand use and engagement with MC4 systems, improve user training and readiness, and continue to focus on system quality and capabilities to benefit deployed Soldiers worldwide.
"This is an opportunity to impact the lives of many through efficiencies in new technologies," Morton said. "Aligning ourselves with the Army strategy, collaborating with strategic partners and focusing on outcomes versus outputs is just a start. I'm ready for the challenge and believe in what we're doing here."
Since 2003, MC4, a deployable electronic medical record and medical logistics system, has enabled the capture of more than 17 million electronic patient encounters in the combat zone. It has also trained 63,000 medical staff and commanders, and fielded 50,000 systems to 2,400 units with medical personnel, to include Army National Guard and Reserve units, and active component divisional units throughout 22 countries.
