SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Summary of Information Collection 

DMHRSi is one of the premier Joint 

Medical Information System software 

applications. It provides the Military 

Health System (MHS) (including Health 

Affairs, the TRICARE Management 

Activity, and the JMISO Office) with a 

comprehensive enterprise human 

resource system with capabilities to 

manage our personnel, manpower, 

education & training, labor cost 

assignment, and readiness functional 

areas. Everyone in the MHS—Active 

Duty, Reserves, National Guard, 

government civilian, contractor, and 

volunteer—assigned or borrowed, will 

be accounted for in DMHRSi. 

Most JMIS products are designed for 

deployment to medical facilities and 

field use. DMHRSi has applicability at 

the headquarters level allowing JMIS to 

use this product to conduct its own dayto-day workforce management. This 

comprehensive tool provides the 

capability to manage positions, develop 

telephone rosters, monitor individual 

training status, etc. Deciding to 

implement DMHRSi within all JMIS 

program offices, provides a great 

opportunity to LEAD BY EXAMPLE 

using the application just as we expect 

those ‘‘in the field’’ to do. 

The information in DMHRSi is 

sometimes personal or sensitive; 

therefore it contains built-in safeguards 

to limit access and visibility of this 

information. DMHRSi uses role-based 

security so a user sees only the 

information for which permission has 

been granted. It uses state-of-the-market 

128-bit encryption security for our 

transactions. It is DITSCAP certified, 

having been subjected to and passed 

thorough security testing and evaluation 

by independent parties. It meets 

safeguards specified by the Privacy Act 

of 1974 in that it maintains a published 

Department of Defense (DoD) Privacy 

Impact Assessment and System of 

Record covering Active Duty Military, 

Reserve, National Guard, and 

government civilian employees, to 

include non-appropriated fund 

employees and foreign nationals, DoD 

contractors, and volunteers. DMHRSi is 

hosted in a secure facility managed by 

the Defense Information Systems 

Agency. 

For JMIS military and government 

civilian personnel, most of the required 

data is received from Service or DoD 

source systems. However, there may be 

some additional data entered locally. 

For contract support personnel, records 

must be created. So, the first step to 

implement DMHRSi in JMIS is to collect 

selected data and have it entered into 

the application. JMIS will provide 

templates to ease this initial data 

gathering process. 

Once the initial record is created, 

there is some data such as local address 

and phone number that each employee 

can review and maintain individually. 

This is accomplished through the 

DMHRSi Employee Self-Service 

interface. Therefore, the second step to 

implement DMHRSi in JMIS is for all 

personnel to complete two online 

courses, Introduction to DMHRSi and 

DMHRSi Employee Self-Service. 

Training is through the MHS Learning 

Management System—MHS Learn— 

accessed at https:// 

mhslearn.satx.disa.mil. MHS Learn 

guidance including login instructions 

and timelines for completion will be 

provided separately.
