This work reports development of an interactive prototype of a military planning workspace, implemented in Macromedia Flash. The interface was structured to support the natural reasoning strategies that are encouraged by a functional structure based on an Abstraction-Decomposition Space. A scenario involving planning for naval task force air defence is used to illustrate the use of the system. The prototype demonstrates a pictorially rich information workspace for planning and also the flexibility of Macromedia Flash for developing a prototype that permits interactive exploration of an information work system.

Abstract From the experience of a U.S. Army Air Defense Artillery “battalion-plus” task force serving a 6-month rotation in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, we compiled the requirements for specialty consultations on deployed personnel in the predeployment screening phase, during deployment (including both inpatient hospitalizations and medical evacuations), and immediately upon return to home station. We required a wide variety of specialty expertise. In every phase of the operation, we consulted orthopedic surgery most often. Nonsurgical and surgical specialists were consulted in roughly equal numbers. Almost every field of adult medicine was represented in our sample. The distribution of consultations across specialties differs from what would be expected in combat but is similar to that seen in the few other studies of comparable populations. Excellent host nation support allowed us to use specialty expertise to an almost ideal extent. These data represent the most complete “snapshot” that has been taken of the requirements for specialty medical consultations in a military operation other than war (MOOTW). They demonstrate that under MOOTW conditions, even a healthy Army population requires the assistance of a full panel of medical specialties. They should serve as a benchmark for planners estimating the medical specialty needs that the Army must provide. Military medicine must provide access to essentially all medical specialties for personnel deployed under MOOTW conditions, whether through host nation support, telemedicine, or medical evacuation.

Abstract Like the diagnosis-based impairment (DBI) method and the range-of-motion (ROM) method for rating permanent impairment, the approach for rating compression or entrapment neuropathy in the upper extremity (eg, carpal tunnel syndrome [CTS]) is a separate and distinct methodology in the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment (AMA Guides), Sixth Edition. Rating entrapment neuropathies is similar to the DBI method because the evaluator uses three grade modifiers (ie, test findings, functional history, and physical evaluation findings), but the way these modifiers are applied is different from that in the DBI method. Notably, the evaluator must have valid nerve conduction test results and cannot diagnose or rate nerve entrapment or compression without them; postoperative nerve conduction studies are not necessary for impairment rating purposes. The AMA Guides, Sixth Edition, uses criteria that match those established by the Normative Data Task Force and endorsed by the American Association of Neuromuscular & Electrodiagnostic Medicine (AANEM); evaluators should be aware of updated definitions of normal from AANEM. It is possible that some patients may be diagnosed with carpal or cubital tunnel syndrome for treatment but will not qualify for that diagnosis for impairment rating; evaluating physicians must be familiar with electrodiagnostic test results to interpret them and determine if they confirm to the criteria for conduction delay, conduction block, or axon loss; if this is not the case, the evaluator may use the DBI method with the diagnosis of nonspecific pain.
