How to get a DRSi account:
Before granting access to sensitive personal and health information, the DHA requires command or unit-level assurance that the information will be handled in accordance with the Privacy Act and the Health Insurance Portability and Assurance Act (HIPAA). This requirement is documented on
DD Form 2875 System Authorization Access Request (SAAR) and available via the DRSi login page.
All DRSi accounts are processed by the DRSi Help Desk located at DCPH-A. All DRSi users must gain access to DRSi via the DRSi Help Desk. Contact information for the DRSi Help Desk is listed below.
Three items are required for DRSi access:
- Combleted DRSi New User Training

Other Materials Needed to Use DRSi:
All cases reported to the DRSi follow a case definition as defined in the

The
Communicable Disease Toolkit (CDT) was developed to serve as a standardized resource for public health professionals at military treatment facilities (MTFs), provide guidance with outbreak investigation, and aid in RME reporting and surveillance in line with DoD policy. For each RME, this toolkit includes: a standardized reference sheet with detailed information, including clinical and epidemiological data; a flowchart with information about the classification and reporting of cases in DRSi; and an investigation worksheet for the collection of detailed case information.
