The Medical Planning Module (MPM) is a subsystem of the Joint Operation Planning System. The MPM is an entirely new Medical Planning System designed to replace the JOPS III Medical Planning Program (MED). The MPM is intended to provide a consistent means of predicting and evaluating medical requirements in support of OPLAN development. It is designed to be compatible with the organization and unit structure of each of the services and to recognize the unique requirements of each of the services. The MPM derives a population at risk, subdivided both by geographic echelon and unit type, from an OPLAN dependent JOPS III TPFDD. The population at risk serves as the source of daily admissions to the medical system computed by echelon arrayed into 4 patient classes whose numbers, length of stay and death rates are determined by service developed diagnostic frequency data fromthe JOPS Medical Data Base correlated with user specified combat intensity and admission rate information. Admissions are, in turn, used to compare patient load, evacuations, returns to duty and up to 10 service specified and 5 user defined medical care requirements.
