FY15 DoD Joint En Route Care Training System of Systems Initiative: Hand-Offs, Patient Transfers, and Systems Interoperability

archived

The FY15 JPC-1/MSIS JRoute Initiative aims to support research toward the analysis of alternatives for materiel development of a Joint En Route Care Training System of Systems. The JRoute Initiative seeks to support research projects that will develop plans, designs, frameworks, or architecture that ultimately contribute toward the development of a Continuum of Care Joint En Route Care training System of Systems that allows for training across the expanded continuum and that emphasizes training and educating the healthcare provider (both the individual and the team) on how to more effectively manage patient hand-offs and transfers and improve patient outcomes. It is anticipated that such a Joint En Route Care training system will benefit both the Military and public at large by reducing medical errors and adverse events before, during, and after hand-offs and patient transfer, leading to the overall improvement of patient safety and healthcare outcomes. It is also anticipated that future technologies will be better integrated into a more fully comprehensive, interoperable System of Systems Continuum of Care Joint En Route Care trainer.Applications should provide a solid research-based design, plan, and/or framework that can support future development of a Joint En Route Care Training System of Systems. The design, plan, or framework is encouraged to incorporate open-source architecture, if and where possible. While the proposed plans/designs may include proprietary tools, appropriate justification for incorporating proprietary tools must be included. Proposed intellectual property components should be clearly and legibly marked in the application.The proposed plan, design, framework, or architecture should also address potential future public uses. Dissemination and propagation of a future En Route Care Training System with public benefits is encouraged.
