- One of the tools military medical personnel use from the EMT to ICU to other parts of the hospital is the Medical Combat Casualty Care System. MC4, a computer system, is used in Iraq, Afghanistan and stateside. Medical Communications for Combat Casualty Care (MC4) integrates, fields and supports a comprehensive medical information system, enabling lifelong electronic medical records, streamlined medical logistics and enhanced situational awareness for Army tactical forces. "It's a wonderful tool that we can utilize to document patient care and be able to utilize that system to send the information to other folks. They can actually sit in remote areas so they can re-transfer a patient to the next level of care. They have the ability to go in and see what we've been doing at our level and get a background history on that patient so it is an invaluable asset for us to be able to track and maintain patients and provide quality medical care," said House.
