2009 - Smartronix has been awarded a contract to
support medical data quality efforts for the Air Force
Medical Services (AFMS). As part of a multi-functional team,

with on-going support of the Air Mobility Command’s CHCS
Data Quality Model. Advanced technical and administrative
support are included, to ensure the data quality of Air

Major Command, and Military Treatment Facility directives.
This effort will also entail efforts to draft business rules

corrective action and data management, software development,
training and reporting on patient medical records and other
specialized data management services within Air Force
medical systems. Support will include assisting the Air
Force in identifying and implementing the essential
framework necessary for supporting and sustaining the CHCS’s
registration, identity, and data quality program long-term.
Mission imperative and key elements of this tasking will
help in identifying an enterprise technical solution, new
policies and business process, while concurrently reducing
the safety risks associated with current patient identity,
registration errors and discrepancies within patient data
records.
