The U.S. Navy conducted an initial pilot testing of the Operational Medicine Care Delivery Platform, or OpMed CDP, aboard the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer USS Carney in early December.
The service said on Dec. 30 that USS Carney will be the first ship to use OpMed CDP to support daily medical operations once fielding is completed.
Leaders from across the federal and defense health landscape will participate in the Potomac Officers Club’s 2025 Healthcare Summit on Feb. 12 (rescheduled due to the fall’s government shutdown). The annual GovCon conference hosts panel discussions on the most pressing topics in healthcare, including modernization and the integration of artificial intelligence.

During the 12-day test, the ship’s crew was trained to use the system.
According to Cmdr. John de Geus, chief health informatics officer for the Navy, the pilot provided insights into OpMed CDP. The platform will next move to the next phase of the program, which is an extended pilot to validate effectiveness and resilience.
What Is OpMed CDP?
OpMed CDP was developed by the Joint Operational Medicine Information System, also known as JOMIS, to deliver interoperable tools for documenting and coordinating care in deployed environments. It supports routine check-ups, laboratory and pharmacy records, damage control resuscitation, surgery, and patient stabilization.
The system operates in offline or low-connectivity environments.
“The JOMIS ecosystem will transform the way our clinicians, physicians and corpsmen provide care to warfighters in operational settings to maintain patient data flow through the continuum of care,” said Lt. Cmdr. Erik Lawrence, chief nursing informatics officer for JOMIS assigned to the U.S. Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery.
OpMed CDP is designed to integrate with the Military Health System’s electronic health record MHS GENESIS.
