Theater Medical Information Program

DHIMS supports the specialized needs of the military's deployed medical business practice with the Theater Medical Information Program (TMIP) family of systems. This integrated suite of software solutions offers complete clinical care documentation, medical supply and equipment tracking, patient movement visibility and health surveillance in Theater environments. Currently, there are more than 20 Theater products and systems available for use in deployed situations.

As part of the Military Health System, TMIP-J systems are used as a collaborative effort among the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps. In addition, they enable the sharing of pertinent clinical data captured in the Theater of Operations with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for patients follow-on care.
