"The Ministry of Defense is improving the maintenance of records on the provision of pre-hospital medical care to servicemen. The outdated "Form 100" will be replaced by an electronic primary medical record," the Defense Ministry said.
As noted, the form will be maintained electronically in the information and communication system "Medical Information System of the Armed Forces of Ukraine".
"This is an important step that creates an opportunity to collect and analyze medical data, which will be used to make decisions on improving the provision of medical care at the pre-hospital stage," commented Nikita Nikitenko, State Secretary of the Ministry of Defense, who oversees the healthcare sector in the ministry.
As indicated, the implementation of this order is also the basis for the work of the combat trauma registry, which the Ministry of Defense is working on launching. The data from this registry, in particular, will form the evidence base for treatment protocols in NATO countries.
The Minister of Defense of Ukraine Rustem Umerov has ordered to ensure the introduction of an electronic Primary Medical Record within three months from the date the order comes into force.
Within the same period, the technical possibility of maintaining this card using the Medical Information System of the Armed Forces of Ukraine should be ensured.
