Purpose
INFO: Provide the context for medical standards application
by the services and provide a common approach for
consideration in the future.
3
What are Medical Standards?

Medical standards (stds) are used to ensure a fit & ready force
 Certify to enter into service/specific duty
 Continued performance
 Stds really highlight conditions that MAY impair function

Different types of standards
 Accession (DoD)
 Deployment (DoD)
 Retention (Service Specific)
 Special Duty (Service Specific)
 Fly, Dive, Static Jump, HALO, Freefall, Undersea, etc.

Waiver authorities/process for most standards (service specific)
 Waive due to no limitation in function OR operational need
4
DoD Medical Standards

Accession Medical Standards Working Group (AMSWG)
 Co-led by OUSD/P&R and Health Affairs
 Meet 3-4 times/yr; service reps voting members
 MEPS, DoDMERB, waiver authorities
 DoDI 6130.03, Medical Standards for Appointment, Enlistment,
or Induction in the Military Services

For all DoDIs; services get input as policy rewritten/coordinated
 Ask for Subject Matter Expert (SME) input
 Services coordinate; concur, concur w/comments, nonconcur

DoDI 6490.07, Deployment-Limiting Medical Conditions for Service
Members and DoD Civilians

DoDI 1332.18, Disability Evaluation System (DES)
5
USAF Medical Standards

Retention and special duty standards established through Aircrew
Medical Standards Working Group

Listed in the Medical Standards Directory

If do not meet Medical Standards then…
 Waiver authority considers functional limitations
 AFI 48-123 describes functional requirements/waiver authority
 Retention; Considered a Trigger Event & provider must
 Refer to Deployment Availability Working Group (DAWG)
 Function in ASIMS (web-based IMR/profile program)
 Special Duty; Refer to SGP or Medical Stds Mgt Element (MSME)
 Future: Base Operational Medicine Cell (BOMC)
6
Sister Service empanels USAF

Obtain ASIMS access (details in references)
 Profiling, readiness & occupational health tracking application
 Cardiac Risk Assessment, Fitness Assessment scores
 Refer to DAWG function

Identify supporting USAF MSME (Future BOMC)
 Establish SOP for when/how to hand-off
 POC for all stds, SHPEs, profiles
 Can link with PEBLO and PH (PHA lead)

PCM of USAF Service Members
 Responsible for all narrative summaries/I-RILOs
 Empanel USAF = Complete I-RILO
 Complete assessments & examinations (PHAs, SHPEs, etc.)
7
USAF Medical Standards

Profiles (AF Form 469) from web-based program (ASIMS)
 Fitness restrictions (FR)
 Duty restriction (DR)
 Mobility restriction (MR)
 Templates currently available in ASIMS
 More detailed & evidence based coming

Assignment Limitation Code C (Code C)
 Does not meet retention stds; retained with Code C
 Number relates to medical needs, not always severity
 C1 & C2; Can deploy to some locs w/waiver from CoCOM
 C3; Rarely can get a deployment waiver
 Code C only occurs centrally after I-RILO
8
USAF Trigger Events
Refer to DAWG

Five trigger events ID Airmen that do not meet retention standards
 Providers; potential diagnoses that will require medical board
or assignment limitation Code C
 DAWG Surveillance Tracking
 Commanders request evaluation due to poor duty performance
or deployment concerns stemming from a potential medical
condition
 Central reviewers make requests (DPANM or ARC/SGP)
 After review of annual RILO with recommendation for MEB
 Cancellation of a deployment/TDY/PCS due to medical issue
Note: If access to ASIMS, then “Refer to DAWG” function can capture
PCM’s referral to the appropriate MSME.

I-RILO versus Narrative
Summary

Initial Review-in-lieu of Medical Board
 USAF reviews all personnel centrally
 Evaluate functional limitations vs. other factors
 Critical to determine who we retrain
 Contains key information required for review (references)

Narrative summary
 If referred to IDES from DPANM or ARC/SGP
 After IDES C&P exam (5 duty days)
 Write addendum to I-RILO
 Address new diagnoses
 Any additional/updated information for the Informal PEB
 Address any disagreements between Unit CC and Provider

USA Profiles

Form used: DA 3349
 a.k.a. “Long form profile”
 Providers should be consistent
and detailed, but not too detailed
 HQDA EXORD 223-11, Army

Implementation of Electronic profile
(e-Profile) and ALARACT 205/2011
mandate conversion of all paper
(non-e-Profile generated) DA 3349s.

100% use of e-Profile is required – Hard
copy profiles are no longer valid

e-Profile automatically sends DA 3349 to
the Commander and updates MEDPROS
15
USA Profiles
Slide 16
Profile Types-Temporary

Temporary profile
 Definite endpoint
 Expectation is that the condition will improve or resolve
 No record APFT
 Unless Unit CC allows, stable temp conditions > 90 days
 No approval authority required
 e-Profile will enter into MEDPROS as a duty-limiting condition
 >30 days profile from original injury or illness
 Does not lead directly to a MEB*

Recurrent T profiles must show signs of progress
 Documented in Block 8 of the DA 3349

Recurrent T profiles may warrant a formal Fit-for-Retention
 Evaluation (FFRE), which may lead to an MEB or MAR2
17
18
Profile Types- Permanent

Permanent profile
 Indefinite endpoint
 Expectation is that the condition will NOT
 Improve or resolve to return to duty
 Or by one year from the date of injury or disease onset
 P profile is indicated when the Soldier has met his
 Medical Retention Determination Point (MRDP)
 For at least one condition
 Alternate APFT OK
 Approval authority required
 Mandates referral to MEB (if 3 or 4 level)
19
Physical Profiling – PULHES

PULHES
 Designation of general body area or system involved
P
- General or systemic problem
U
- Upper Body (from T-12 up)
L
- Lower Body (below T-12)
H
- Hearing
E
- Eyes
S
- Psychological

Only one (1) PULHES designation is needed per condition
20
Physical Profiling – Codes

Code designations (Block 2 of DA 3349)
 Reference is AR 40-501, Table 7-2
 Codes are limited to permanent profiles for administrative use
 Only are to be completed by the profiling officer
 Codes ARE NOT used for temporary profiles
 Up to three different codes can be listed

Code designations alert HRC assignments personnel
 about potential assignment restrictions
 HRC personnel are NOT medical personnel
 Selection of the codes is not intended to be used for
communication of medical information to the Soldier’s unit
21

On TDRL, a SM is evaluated every 18
months with PPE. At each PPE
interval, the PEB makes a new
adjudication: Fit, Unfit. A final
disability rating must be made by 5
years.
*FIT members may be unsuitable for certain duties. A SM may not be administrated separated for a condition for which they were found fit.
Future Application
Four Key Questions

Does SM have a medical condition that limits their ability to;
1) Partake in desired activities off duty?
2) (FR) Participate in service fitness requirements?
3) (DR) Perform their assigned duties?
4) (MR) Deploy IAW DoDI 6490.07, Deployment-Limiting Medical
Conditions for Service Members and DoD Civilians

SMs confirm all 4 every visit (or note unchanged)

Provider responsible to address SM responses & validate
 Yes to last 3; need a service specific profile or document
disconnect (ex. asthma well-controlled and running)
 Yes to any of the 4; document care plan per service guidelines

Unit CC responsible know SM limitation to duty or deployment
 Not profiled; Contact Medical Team per service protocol
28
Future Application
Example

MSgt I.M. Heavy, 34 yo male medical technician, BMI=38, Dx Obesity
& Asthma x 3 yrs, on Flovent during spring & fall, rare use of
albuterol here to review PFTs. Answered questions per below
 Do you have a med condition that limits their ability to;

Partake in desired activities off duty? No.
 (FR) Participate in service fitness requirements? Yes.
 (DR) Perform their assigned duties? No.
 (MR) Deploy IAW DoDI 6490.07? Yes, Code C.

Med Tech presents following

Weight gain has been slowly increasing over 10 yrs
 Previous provider provided a Fitness Assessment (FA) restriction for
running and walking; Next FA in 3 months
 MSgt Heavy wants med renewal and renew last profile
 Currently a Assignment Limitation Code C-1 (I-RILO due 3 months)

What would you do?
29
Future Application
Example

Provider reviews nml PFT & shows 10 yrs BMI data
 Asks about physical activity & current diet
 Emphasizes I-RILO requires report of profiles over past year
 Another fitness restriction could become referral to IDES

Provider addresses positives in A/P
 Asthma; MR (Code C1), no FR or DR
 Instructs technician to collect all materials for I-RILO
 Obesity; cause for positive responses to Fitness Limitation
 No profile completed
 SM agrees to meet with dietician today
 Team to follow-up each week via secure messaging
 Leverage upcoming FA to assist to motivate life-changes
30
Summary

If you empanel SMs from another service, must be proactive
 In the future, it will get better…more clear

If you have a USAF question, find the MSME, SGP, or call
 Maj David Miller, (703)681-7563
 Really make contact with your supporting MSME
 Knowledge exchange; Discussion tab
 Questions are answered in 3 working days or less

USA and USN; references provided

All services; PCMs must document in AHLTA note
 SM fitness/duty/mobility limitations
 Be specific with expiration dates
