I. Abstract

The project includes standard use of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) under NASA 10 HIMS regulations at Johnson Space Center (JSC) Occupational Health Branch (OHB) by authorized healthcare providers assigned to, employed by, contracted to, or under partnership agreement with the JSC, OHB. This EMR will be used in support of the TREAT Astronaut Act to generate medical records of medical care, diagnosis, treatment, surveillance examinations ( e.g., flight certification, special purpose and health maintenance), and exposure records ( e.g., hazardous materials and ionizing radiation). Management and utilization of the EMR at JSC, OHB clinics will be carried out in support of the TREAT Astronaut Act; Public Law 115-10. The TREAT Astronaut Act is subsection 441 within the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Transition Authorization Act of 2017 (115th Congress, https://www.congress.gov/​115/​plaws/​publ10/​PLAW-115publ10.pdf). The goal is to maintain digital medical records of routine health care, emergency treatment, and scheduled examinations for active or retired astronauts in order to develop a knowledge base and address gaps in services in support of medical monitoring, diagnosis and treatment of conditions associated with human space flight as stated in Public Law 115-10.
