Patient Movement Items Tracking System (PMITS) PlexusD

The Patient Movement Items Tracking System (PMITS) PlexusD tracks the storage of patient movement items (PMI) during peacetime and its movement during contingency and wartime operations. PMITS ensures critical patient-movement equipment is available throughout patient evacuation to save critically injured warfighters' lives. Commanders use PMITS PlexusD to manage and redistribute PMI assets to avoid shortages during patient evacuations.

Without PMITS PlexusD, units would have to call or drive to other units to search for needed equipment while critically injured warfighters wait for patient evacuation. Understanding the grave consequences of lost or unavailable PMI data, PMITS PlexusD was designed to replicate its data at several different U.S. Air Force (USAF) locations or "hubs" on a daily basis and also has the ability to update PMI location data globally.
