MEDPROS stands for Periodic Health Assessment. It has two parts – the physical and mental assessments and the health assessment itself. The physical assessment is used to determine a Soldier’s potential for deployment within six months. Results of the PHA are entered into MEDPROS at the point of service. The online portion of MEDPROS is accessed by a patient through a web portal.
Physical
Army’s MEDICAL PROtection System is intended to keep its Soldiers up to date regarding essential health information and readiness for deployment. The program tracks vital medical data such as immunizations, dental readiness, vision tests, and annual physical health assessments. The system, however, falls short in many ways. One of the main issues is the lack of automation in completing physical profile reports. A computerized system could drastically reduce the man hours necessary to compile this information.
Cost
PHA is an annual medical examination that evaluates the fitness of military service members. Although PHA is a well-established screening test, the lack of standardized methods makes it difficult to determine a general cost for a PHA. Military personnel also have access to travel and nursing facilities. Cost estimates for PHA vary considerably depending on the type of health assessment and how the results are interpreted. Regardless of whether a PHA is conducted in person or by telephone, it requires Defense Department approval.
