SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title; Associated Form; and OMB 

Number: Defense Medical Human 

Resources System internet (DMHRSi); 

OMB Control Number 0720–0041. 

Needs and Uses: DMHRSi is a 

Department of Defense software 

application that provides the Military 

Health System (MHS) with a 

comprehensive enterprise human 

resource system with capabilities to 

manage personnel, manpower, 

education & training, labor cost 

assignment and readiness functional 

areas. It has built-in safeguards to limit 

access and visibility of personal or 

sensitive information in accordance 

with the Privacy Act of 1974. The 

application accounts for everyone in the 

MHS—Active Duty, Reserves, National 

Guard, government civilian, contractors 

and volunteers assigned or borrowed— 

this also includes nonappropriated fund 

employees and foreign nationals. 

Affected Public: Federal Government, 

Individuals or households. Business or 

other For-Profit and Not-For-Profit 

Institutions. 

Annual Burden Hours: 10,625. 

Number of Respondents: 85,000. 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Average Burden per Response: 7.5 

minutes. 

Frequency: Quarterly. 

The Defense Medical Human 

Resources System—internet—DMHRSi 

is a Department of Defense application 

that provides the MHS with a joint 

comprehensive enterprise human 

resource system with capabilities to 

manage human capital across the entire 

spectrum of medical facilities and 

person types—military, civilian, 

contractor, Reserve component and 

volunteer. DMHRSi not only provides 

visibility of all personnel working 

within MHS activities, it assists in the 

standardization/centralization of Joint 

medical HR information; accurate Joint 

data collection and reporting and 

standardized management and analysis. 

DMHRSi is deployed to all DHP funded 

activities and includes 170K MHS users, 

The system utilizes best practices in a 

commercial off the shelf application 

across five functional areas—Manpower 

management, Personnel management, 

Labor Cost Assignment, Education and 

Training management, and Medical 

Readiness. The Manpower management 

function provides a standard MHS 

information system to support efficient 

medical personnel distribution at the 

activity level to include: Education, 

training, provider and support staff 

assignment, and labor utilization and 

cost. Additionally, DMHRSi facilitates 

medical manpower requirements and 

authorization tracking and reporting at a 

Joint level in peacetime and wartime. 

The personnel management function 

provides personnel visibility and 

accountability across the MHS as well 

as the ability to match personnel assets 

to command needs and assign 

individuals to work centers. This 

includes Defense Health Program (DHP) 

and non-DHP personnel including, 

civilians, volunteers and contractor 

personnel. Additionally, staffing and 

scheduling supports duty assignments, 

labor utilization, and workload acuity 

measurement and reporting. It 

standardizes and streamlines business 

processes on a Joint level. For Labor 

Cost Assignment, DMHRSi provides the 

ability to assign the costs of the human 

capital assets to the appropriate health 

care delivery product line, education 

and training efforts, or mandated 

readiness activities as mandated by 

Medical Expense Performance Reporting 

System (MEPRS) guidelines. This joint 

tool replaces three distinct Service-level 

MEPRS tools. The MHS has a more 

precise method of recording of labor 

hours and more accurate reporting of 

costs accrued and resource utilization 

thus, resulting in more timely and 

detailed data for executive information 

and decision making. For Education and 

Training, DMHRSi centralizes education 

and training data and resources and 

enables online registration and approval 

of courses supports MHS health care 

personnel education, training, and 

course management for individual 

development and maintenance of skills 

and command specific needs. The 

education and training features feeds 

into the Readiness requirements. For 

Readiness, DMHRSi supports individual 

personnel and unit readiness in 

documenting, monitoring, evaluating 

and reporting of ongoing person-specific 

and team/unit personnel training and 

certification to provide immediate 

readiness status for deployment to 

theater operations. 

The information in DMHRSi is 

sometimes personal or sensitive;
