| Summary: | This paper discusses an ongoing medical informatics
and business process reengineering research project. The
Joint Medical Asset Repository (JMAR) is a relational
database system created to integrate very diverse medical
supply and medical maintenance management information
from the US military services existing hetrogeneous
database systems. JMAR was originally envisioned to
correct medical supply and drug distribution problems that
occurred during Operation Desert Storm, and it received
additional strong impetus and urgency from the September
1 lth terrorist attacks (TechMaui, 2002). JMAR also is a
critical component of the Joint Vision 2010 and 2020
concepts, plans to provide seamless clinical and medical
supply information from the front lines to the home-based
forces and their families (Stratton and Dick, 2002). The
Joint Vision 2020 plan is an aggressive and all
encompassing one, and it seems well be ahead of civilian
efforts found in the literature to date. |
