Managing critical medical information
Medical Communications for Combat Casualty Care (MC4) integrates, fields, trains and supports a medical information management system for Army tactical medical forces, enabling a comprehensive, lifelong electronic medical record for all Service members, and enhancing medical situational awareness for operation commanders.
MC4 was first deployed in 2003, and is currently fielded to deployed medical forces throughout Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar and Afghanistan in support of Operations Iraqi and Enduring Freedom.
Through cooperation between industry partners and the Army Medical Department, the team created a cohesive, flexible system to deliver to its users. MC4 continually evaluates, tests and integrates joint software into various hardware products to ensure the system meets requirements. In addition, the team provides hands-on classroom training to thousands of medical professionals each year prior to their deployment. MC4 also follows units into the battlefield, providing onsite support and refresher training to ensure users utilize the system and its capabilities to the maximum extent possible. MC4 reinforces its commitment to deployed units with a three-tiered, 24/7 worldwide sustainment and technical support structure.
General Dynamics Information Technology provides support to any and all phases of the pre-deployment, deployment, on-site and re-deployment process to support MC4 system activities for worldwide contingency operations. Specifically, General Dynamics provides in-theater MC4 system administration operations, help desk support operations, warranty support and in-theater fielding and training in support of contingency operations. In addition, General Dynamics provides support services for MC4 development, acquisition and sustainment initiatives.
