Getting started with Battlefield Medical Record (Tactical EHR)
What Battlefield Medical Record (Tactical EHR) is for, who uses it, what you need before you start, and your first steps.
Applies to Battlefield Medical Record (Tactical EHR) as it works today. Moraph updates the platform continuously, and this page is reviewed when it changes.
The Battlefield Medical Record lets a medic capture injuries, interventions and vital signs at the point of injury on a rugged handheld, by voice or touch, without a network connection. The record travels with the casualty through each role of care, and syncs to the theater and garrison health record systems your program designates when a connection is available. Speech recognition proposes entries; the medic confirms every one.
What it is for
Point-of-injury care is often documented on paper casualty cards, tape or a marker on the casualty, or not at all, because the medic's hands and attention belong to the patient. Cards are lost or illegible, receiving teams re-ask what was given and when, and much of the care never reaches the casualty's long-term health record or the trauma registry. Electronic tools built for clinics assume a network, a keyboard and time, none of which a medic has.
- Paper casualty cards are lost, damaged or unreadable at handoff
- Medics cannot stop treating to type into a device
- Receiving teams lack a reliable record of what was given and when
- Point-of-injury care rarely reaches the long-term health record or trauma registry
Who uses it
- Combat medics, corpsmen and pararescue personnel providing point-of-injury care
- Battalion aid station and forward surgical teams receiving casualties
- Medical commanders and planners responsible for casualty care documentation
- Military health system program offices and informatics teams
- Trauma system staff who review care for performance improvement
