    Needs and Uses: EBMS is a family of related automated information

Health System (MHS) with a comprehensive enterprise wide Blood Donor 
Management System (BDMS) and a Blood Management Blood Bank and 
Transfusion Service (BMBB/TS). The Blood Donor Management System (BDMS) 
employs two separate COTS software applications, Mediware Corporation's 
LifeTrak DonorTM and LifeTrak Lab & 
DistributionTM. BDMS is a technology modernization effort 
intended to enhance the DoD's Blood Program capabilities for Donor 
Centers through the seamless integration of blood products inventory 
management, transport, availability, and most importantly, blood and 
blood products traceability from collection to disposition within the 
electronic health record (EHR). The Blood Management Blood Bank 
Transfusion Service (BMBB/TS) employs two separate COTS software 
applications, Mediware Corporation's HCLLTM (Transfusion) 
and KnowledgeTrakTM (Learning Management). BMBB/TS is an 
effort intended to enhance the DoD's Blood Program capabilities for a 
seamless integration of blood banking and transfusion activities, 
products inventory management, transport, availability, and most 
importantly traceability from transfusion to disposition or destruction 
within the electronic health record (EHR). EBMS has built-in safeguards 
to limit access and visibility of personal or sensitive information in 
accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974. The application will account 
for everyone that donates blood and receives a blood transfusion in the 
MHS--Active Duty, Reserves, National Guard, government civilian, 
contractors and volunteers assigned or borrowed--this also includes 
non-appropriated fund employees and foreign nationals.
    Affected Public: Contractors, civilian and foreign nationals 
donating to the Military Health Systems.

    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: Mr. John Kraemer.
