System: GEMS
Global Expeditionary Medical System (GEMS)
Global Expeditionary Medical System (GEMS) is a paperless data linked tool made up of four
components: the Patient Encounter Module (PEM); the Theater Epidemiological Module (TEM),
the Theater Occupational Module (TOM) and the Public Health Deployed Module (PHDM). GEMS
provides comprehensive medical data collection at deployed locations and daily data analysis
for Disease Non Battle Injuries, enabling identification of like symptoms that could indicate
enemy use of biological weapons. GEMS is an interim Air Force legacy system until the Air
Force Medical Service deploys the Theater Medical Information Program.
