15–3. Data system studies The MTF will identify and generate information requirements necessary for studies and reporting. Information requirements that exceed the capacity of the local MTF will be referred to PASBA. 15–4. Abortion Statistics Report (RCS MED-363) The DOD has mandated the reporting of all abortions (whether spontaneous or therapeutic (endangered life of mother)) that occur at an Army MTF. a. MTFs will forward copies of all abortion inpatient treatment record cover sheets (ITRCSs) (except spontaneous/ code 634) to the Commander, USAMEDCOM, ATTN: MCHS-ISD, 1216 Stanley Road, Suite 25, Fort Sam Houston, TX 78234-6025. MTFs will implement local SOPs that ensure that these cases are tracked and transmitted. It is recommended that MTFs forward abortion ITRCSs with regularly scheduled transmittals as stated in paragraph 15–2b or as soon as the abortion record is coded. Due to the ongoing special emphasis on diagnostic and procedure coding of abortion records, PASBA will perform a quality review of ITRCSs for coding accuracy. b. MTFs will forward ITRCSs with the following abortion codes: (1) 630 to 633—Missed abortion, ectopic, and molar pregnancy. (2) 635—Legally induced (therapeutic, elective). (3) 636—Illegally induced. (4) 638—Failed attempted abortion. (5) 639—Complications following abortion and ectopic and molar pregnancies. (6) Other abortion codes as provided from PASBA. 15–5.

Workload report Primary Care for the Uniformed Services clinics and other MTFs, as defined in AR 40-4 (except dental facilities) will prepare initial, monthly, and final workload report according to the Worldwide Workload Reporting (WWR) Users’ Manual. 15–7. Patient Accounting and Reporting Realtime Tracking System/Joint Patient Tracking Application a.

JPTA is a secured Web-based software application for logging and tracking medical information on U.S. Armed Forces and Government employees that require medical treatment as a result of a military operation or unplanned incident. Designed as a tracking system for special category and special interest patients such as VIPs, enabling care, or MASCAL patients, JPTA facilitates the distribution of pertinent medical and administrative information to senior USAMEDCOM leadership. The application consists of a data management module and a reports module. c. Patient administrators are responsible for reporting information into JPTA as stated per system business rules provided by the USAMEDCOM. JPTA business rules are available in the JPTA Users’ Manual located on the PASBA Web site within the “Product Documents” link at www.pasba.amedd.army.mil. d.

Patient administration contingency operations Patient administrators will establish training programs for administrative personnel assigned to the TOE units. Training should encompass but not be limited to rotations in fixed clinic/MEDDAC/MEDCEN PAD sections including the AAD office, inpatient records, and patient affairs. The goal is to improve Soldier skills that will be used in support of deployed unit operations. a. Training should also increase proficiency/familiarization in the use of applicable automation systems such as CHCS, JPTA, the PASBA PAD Tool, and the TRANSCOM Regulating and Command & Control System. b. Upon alert for deployment, the patient administrator of deploying TOE units will notify the Commander, USAMEDCOM, ATTN: MCHS-IS, 1216 Stanley Road, Suite 25, Fort Sam Houston, TX 78234-6025. The Chief, Data Management Branch, PASBA, will forward the deploying units a deployment package including applicable ARs, users’ manuals, and required reports/tools. Any training requirements for the deployment unit will be discussed at that time. c. Activated TOE units are responsible for submitting daily SIDR, JPTA, and Patient Status Reports via the PASBA PAD Tool electronically to PASBA or by using the WWR function in the TOE automated patient tracking systems. If electronic communication is unavailable, manual reports will be forwarded directly to the Commander, USAMED- COM, ATTN: MCHS-IS, 1216 Stanley Road, Suite 25, Fort Sam Houston, TX 78234-6025 (via certified post office mail). 90 AR 40–400 27 January 2010
