Research abstract
Medical readiness has become a critical concern. New threats and operational environments, an expanding set of critical skills and scarce resources has made the development of new training tools and operational methods for our first-responders ahigh-priority in both military and civilian communities.The Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) is actively searching for solutions to these pressing medical readiness issues. Tools that provide training, distribute knowledge, collect and report critical information, and provide real-time support arecurrently being developed. These efforts are being funded by/from a variety of sources, public and private, and are being developed in an independent manner, lacking an established architecture to integrate knowledge and capabilities. The goal of theDistributed Medical Curricula Architecture (DMCA) is to provide a foundation to integrate many of these efforts - particularly efforts focused on first-responder training. Designs and implements a modern architecture that will enhance the Uniformed Services training mission.Provides an enhanced ability to interact, collaborate, integrate and jointly develop, plan and deliver first-responder training in a unifying environment. Looking forward, such systems could even collect and provide information relative to first-respondermanpower, levels, characteristics and distribution.Provides an environment that enables and supports the development and implementation of a Core Curriculum for medical and non-medical first- responders that can be dynamically updated based on evidence-based practices.Provides a continuous assessment method to determine an individual first-responder's state of readiness.Dual-use technology
