•Case Study: DMLSS Branch Of The U.S. Military Lowers Drug Costs By $389M With Mobile Computing
In the military, missions are ubiquitous. They come in all sizes. Every branch, department, colonel and clerk has missions to fulfill. Each accomplishment brings the overall goal, whatever it happens to be, that much closer.
The United States Department of Defense runs a program called Defense Medical Logistics Standard Support. (Also ubiquitous in the military are acronyms. The program is known as DMLSS, pronounced "dimmels.") DMLSS' mission essentially is twofold: make medical logistics support more effective and lower its costs. DMLSS is designed to be the standard system to support all military medical activities for medical supply, equipment and facility management functions.
Several words could well describe the legacy computer systems once used for medical logistics support by the U.S. military's four branches. Sundry is one. Aging is another. In all, the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps were operating on 13 different medical logistics systems worldwide. Sharing information between branches was difficult, if not impossible. Smaller computer programs within each branch system further entangled communication.
