15–3. Data system studies<br />
The MTF will identify and generate information requirements necessary for studies and reporting. Information<br />
requirements that exceed the capacity of the local MTF will be referred to PASBA.<br />
15–4. Abortion Statistics Report (RCS MED-363)<br />
The DOD has mandated the reporting of all abortions (whether spontaneous or therapeutic (endangered life of mother))<br />
that occur at an <strong>Army</strong> MTF.<br />
a. MTFs will forward copies of all abortion inpatient treatment record cover sheets (ITRCSs) (except spontaneous/<br />
code 634) to the Commander, USAMEDCOM, ATTN: MCHS-ISD, 1216 Stanley Road, Suite 25, Fort Sam Houston,<br />
TX 78234-6025. MTFs will implement local SOPs that ensure that these cases are tracked and transmitted. It is<br />
recommended that MTFs forward abortion ITRCSs with regularly scheduled transmittals as stated in paragraph 15–2b<br />
or as soon as the abortion record is coded. Due to the ongoing special emphasis on diagnostic and procedure coding of<br />
abortion records, PASBA will perform a quality review of ITRCSs for coding accuracy.<br />
b. MTFs will forward ITRCSs with the following abortion codes:<br />
(1) 630 to 633—Missed abortion, ectopic, and molar pregnancy.<br />
(2) 635—Legally induced (therapeutic, elective).<br />
(3) 636—Illegally induced.<br />
(4) 638—Failed attempted abortion.<br />
(5) 639—Complications following abortion and ectopic and molar pregnancies.<br />
(6) Other abortion codes as provided from PASBA.<br />
15–5. Diagnostic and operative indices<br />
Specific information referencing these two indices can be found in AR 40-66.<br />
15–6. Workload report<br />
Primary Care for the Uniformed Services clinics and other MTFs, as defined in AR 40-4 (except dental facilities) will<br />
prepare initial, monthly, and final workload report according to the Worldwide Workload Reporting (WWR) Users’<br />
Manual.<br />
15–7. <strong>Patient</strong> Accounting and Reporting Realtime Tracking System/Joint <strong>Patient</strong> Tracking Application<br />
a. The JPTA is the data reporting tool used to report special interest personnel for tracking patients during a training<br />
exercise and during a contingency operation.<br />
b. JPTA is a secured Web-based software application for logging and tracking medical information on U.S. Armed<br />
Forces and Government employees that require medical treatment as a result of a military operation or unplanned<br />
incident. Designed as a tracking system for special category and special interest patients such as VIPs, enabling care, or<br />
MASCAL patients, JPTA facilitates the distribution of pertinent medical and administrative information to senior<br />
USAMEDCOM leadership. The application consists of a data management module and a reports module.<br />
c. <strong>Patient</strong> administrators are responsible for reporting information into JPTA as stated per system business rules<br />
provided by the USAMEDCOM. JPTA business rules are available in the JPTA Users’ Manual located on the PASBA<br />
Web site within the “Product Documents” link at www.pasba.amedd.army.mil.<br />
d. Contact the Commander, USAMEDCOM, MCHO-CL-P, 2050 Worth Road, Fort Sam Houston, TX 78234-6010<br />
(FAX: 210-221-6613; e-mail: pad.USAMEDCOM@cen.amedd.army.mil) for additional information on special interest<br />
personnel.<br />
15–8. <strong>Patient</strong> administration contingency operations<br />
<strong>Patient</strong> administrators will establish training programs for administrative personnel assigned to the TOE units. Training<br />
should encompass but not be limited to rotations in fixed clinic/MEDDAC/MEDCEN PAD sections including the AAD<br />
office, inpatient records, and patient affairs. The goal is to improve Soldier skills that will be used in support of<br />
deployed unit operations.<br />
a. Training should also increase proficiency/familiarization in the use of applicable automation systems such as<br />
CHCS, JPTA, the PASBA PAD Tool, and the TRANSCOM Regulating and Command & Control System.<br />
b. Upon alert for deployment, the patient administrator of deploying TOE units will notify the Commander,<br />
USAMEDCOM, ATTN: MCHS-IS, 1216 Stanley Road, Suite 25, Fort Sam Houston, TX 78234-6025. The Chief, Data<br />
Management Branch, PASBA, will forward the deploying units a deployment package including applicable ARs, users’<br />
manuals, and required reports/tools. Any training requirements for the deployment unit will be discussed at that time.<br />
c. Activated TOE units are responsible for submitting daily SIDR, JPTA, and <strong>Patient</strong> Status Reports via the PASBA<br />
PAD Tool electronically to PASBA or by using the WWR function in the TOE automated patient tracking systems. If<br />
electronic communication is unavailable, manual reports will be forwarded directly to the Commander, USAMED-<br />
COM, ATTN: MCHS-IS, 1216 Stanley Road, Suite 25, Fort Sam Houston, TX 78234-6025 (via certified post office<br />
mail).<br />
