U.S. Army Medical Command Injury Dashboards
Army public health dashboards are maintained by the U.S. Army MEDCOM Readiness Analytics Directorate (RAD) and Office of the U.S. Army Deputy Chief of Staff for Force Health Protection (DCS-FHP). Injury rates can be viewed for All-Army, Medical Readiness Commands, and Installations. Statistical process control charts indicate unique thresholds for high injury rates (red), consistent rates (amber), and low rates (green), calculated based on 2-3 standard deviations from the subpopulation’s historical average injury rate.
