Disuse of System Is Cited in Gaps in Soldier Care
Lapses in using a digital medical record system for tracking wounded soldiers have led to medical mistakes and delays in care, and have kept thousands of troops from getting beneficial care that is sodesperatelyy needed. These wounded individuals mentioned have been forced to endure long waits for treatment, while other are being exposed to mindless treatments. The system was designed to make seamless transitions for soldiers who have been wounded in Iraq to movestatisticse. The inability to transfer records and issues of that nature are blossoming problems within the system.
The failure to track to the records and medical citations of the wounded soldiers in Iraq can be correlated to the inability of the early American historical war death tolls. These numbers were often estimated as there was never any system by which to identify the soldiers. Currently, even though the US clearly has established a technologically advanced system the manner in which it is being carried out suggests that the US has reverted back to previous wars in which soldiers were easily left unaccounted for.
