Aloha,
Thank you for your interest in performing
your unit’s annual training at Tripler Army Medical Center (TAMC). Reserve Affairs looks forward to working with
you and it is our hope that your Annual Training (AT) experience is productive
and safe. To help you prepare for your
annual training and to ensure a smooth transition into TAMC, several resources
are provided for you on our website.
The Information Guide for Reserve
Component (RC) Medical Units, Individual Augmentees
(IA) and Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) Soldiers is a 15 page document that
provides policies and procedures for RC units, IA and IRR Soldiers who perform
training at
TAMC’s
Occupational Health Department ensures all TAMC employees meet the established
immunizations
and chemoprophylaxis requirements for in processing into TAMC. A soldier reporting to TAMC for AT must bring
properly documented shot records.
Certain health care providers require verification of credentials in
order to be privileged to practice at
A training prerequisite that must be
completed by all TAMC employees is HIPAA (Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) which will be conducted during the unit in processing.
A tool provided to help us prepare your
unit for AT is the Annual Training Unit Information Package. The Annual Training Unit Information
Package consists of a series of pages within an excel spreadsheet where the
unit inputs Soldier data that we use to complete in processing requirements.
Units are expected to use the package to track Soldier requirements as they
prepare for AT. It will also serve as
the main communication tool between the unit POC, Reserve Affairs and TAMC
departments. A
Unit Annual Training Suspense
List is also available to help the unit POC/Coordinator monitor
suspense items that must be completed prior to, during, and after AT.
Access to TAMC’s
computer network, requires that your Soldiers have at least a favorable
National Agency Check (NAC) and complete
DD Form
2875 and
TAMC Form 835. Some unit members will need access to CHCS
(Composite Health Care System) and/or CHCS II which is the computerized patient
record system in use at TAMC. Soldiers
cannot access CHCS or CHCS II with out first having a network account. The inability to use TAMC’s
network can impact the quality of training.
Reserve Affairs looks forward to working
with you as you prepare for your annual training here at TAMC. If you have questions remember we’re only a
phone call or email away. I can be
reached at 808-433-3701 or e-mail bonnie.lowe@us.army.mil.
