"The Department of Defense recognizes a serious void in remote operational health care management and is searching for solutions to pressing medical readiness issues. New threats and new operational environments combined with a rapidly changing scientificdatabase and scarce medical resources accelerate the demand for new tools and methods to enhance and strengthen remote medical management capabilties. Specifically, tools that distribute knowledge and capabilities to aid a range of first-responders incomprehensively evaluating a medical situation, guide the uniform collection and reporting of critical information, and provide a telemedicine clinical reach-back to medical experts are essential components of today's medical preparedness and responseplans.The objective of this Phase 1 proposal is to design a framework for the development of a distributive, deployable, protocol-driven, training system with integrated telemedicine capabilities that will enhance and streamline the assessment and management ofremote medical situations across military and civilian environments. Ultimately, the creation of this type of system could enhance the transfer of remote clinical and logistical information, expedite appropriate medical intervention, significantly leverageavailable medical resources and knowledge, reduce mortality, morbidity and the incidence of medical errors and reduce long-term injury related disabilities through rapid remote managem
