Documentation of patient care and movement should continue via the usual platforms (i.e. paper or electronic charts) as previously established at the local treatment facility. The appropriate ICD-10 codes, and symptoms (e.g. fever, cough and shortness of breath), should be entered as detailed as possible in order to capture these patients in Theater Medical Data Store (TMDS), Medical Situational Awareness in the Theater (MSAT) and Medical Combined Operating Picture (MEDCOP) and future databases and overall future performance improvement opportunities.

JTS has published the ICD-9 and ICD-10 Codes to accompany the new COVID-19 registry under development. The codes can be found on the following JTS website: https://jts.amedd.army.mil/assets/docs/education/COVID-19_ICD-9_ICD-10_Codes.pdf Please ensure that outpatient encounters are closed at the end of the patient encounter (i.e. when the patient departs medical facility).
