education & training, labor cost
assignment and readiness functional
areas. It has built-in safeguards to limit
access and visibility of personal or
sensitive information in accordance
with the Privacy Act of 1974. The
application accounts for everyone in the
MHS—Active Duty, Reserves, National
Guard, government civilian, contractors
and volunteers assigned or borrowed—

Affected Public: Federal Government,
Individuals or households. Business or

that provides the MHS with a joint
comprehensive enterprise human
resource system with capabilities to
manage human capital across the entire
spectrum of medical facilities and
person types—military, civilian,
contractor, Reserve component and
volunteer. DMHRSi not only provides
visibility of all personnel working
within MHS activities, it assists in the

data collection and reporting and

The system utilizes best practices in a
commercial off the shelf application
across five functional areas—Manpower
management, Personnel management,
Labor Cost Assignment, Education and
Training management, and Medical
Readiness. The Manpower management
function provides a standard MHS
information system to support efficient
medical personnel distribution at the
activity level to include: Education,
training, provider and support staff
assignment, and labor utilization and
cost. Additionally, DMHRSi facilitates
medical manpower requirements and
authorization tracking and reporting at a
Joint level in peacetime and wartime.
The personnel management function
provides personnel visibility and
accountability across the MHS as well
as the ability to match personnel assets
to command needs and assign
individuals to work centers. This
includes Defense Health Program (DHP)
and non-DHP personnel including,
civilians, volunteers and contractor
personnel. Additionally, staffing and
scheduling supports duty assignments,
labor utilization, and workload acuity
measurement and reporting. It
standardizes and streamlines business
processes on a Joint level. For Labor
Cost Assignment, DMHRSi provides the
ability to assign the costs of the human
capital assets to the appropriate health
care delivery product line, education
and training efforts, or mandated
readiness activities as mandated by
Medical Expense Performance Reporting
System (MEPRS) guidelines. This joint
tool replaces three distinct Service-level
MEPRS tools. The MHS has a more
precise method of recording of labor
hours and more accurate reporting of
costs accrued and resource utilization
thus, resulting in more timely and
detailed data for executive information
and decision making. For Education and
Training, DMHRSi centralizes education
and training data and resources and
enables online registration and approval
of courses supports MHS health care
personnel education, training, and
course management for individual
development and maintenance of skills
and command specific needs. The
education and training features feeds
into the Readiness requirements. For
Readiness, DMHRSi supports individual
personnel and unit readiness in
documenting, monitoring, evaluating
and reporting of ongoing person-specific
and team/unit personnel training and
certification to provide immediate
readiness status for deployment to
theater operations.
The information in DMHRSi is
sometimes personal or sensitive;
