CSIAC Assists ICM-RMS Force Preservation Tool in Becoming
an Official Marine Corps Program of Record
CSIAC SUCCESS STORY
Customer
II Marine Expeditionary Force (II MEF)
Challenge
CSIAC Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) provided support to the development of a functional prototype of ICM-RMS’s technical and programmatic requirements. The Integrated Clinical Management Risk Mitigation System (ICM-RMS) is a force preservation software application developed under the II MEF Information Management Office (IMO). In order to become a Marine Corps Program of Record, the IMO needed to meet an aggressive schedule to develop a functional prototype, demonstrate the general capabilities and identify the advantages of the tool’s use to the senior USMC leadership.
Approach
| Under the Process Improvement and Enhancement Support (PIES) CAT, the CSIAC supported the II MEF IMO’s software development lifecycle through overall project management, as well as a collection of other major tasks. ICM-RMS is a networked, nodal database which captures risk factors for individuals assigned to a unit’s Force Preservation program, produces an empirical risk score, and allows sustained coordination and communication between “need to know” entities (Medical, Command, and Mental Health).
CSIAC managed the development of a full-scale prototype, in addition to providing software testing support to evaluate the developed software. Specific activities included: - Planned, scheduled and executed the prototype development - Debugged and performed software enhancement efforts - Provided regular briefings, described system capabilities and functionality, as well as progress updates, to MARCORSYSCOM and higher-level commands - Supported the security accreditation/authorization in pursuit of the Authority to Operate (ATO) designation. This included the development of the accreditation/authorization package (and all documents/artifacts), as well as management of the system in the Marine Corps Certification and Accreditation Support Tool (MCCAST) - Conducted several iterations of functional and operational testing Throughout this process, the CSIAC identified areas of risk and opportunities for risk reduction in current ICM-RMS development modules. |
Value
The Marine Corps accepted ICM-RMS as an official Marine Corps Program of Record which reflects the USMC’s initial adoption of an augmented Force Preservation Council (FPC) tool. ICM-RMS facilitates the medically-driven Risk Assessment Mapping Process (RAMP). The eventual implementation of this tool will provide the Marine Corps with a significantly enhanced and standardized capability to optimize combat unit readiness and monitor the wellbeing of service members, most importantly, saving lives in the process.
