[The improvement of the information activities in the system of the health and hygiene support for the troops].

The system of information on health care measures in the Armed Forces of Russian Federation needs to be improved and developed. The aims and contents of record documentation must be reoriented from the tasks of uninterrupted extensive control over environmental conditions to the intensive study of health status in military units. It is desirable that the system of information support in the Ministry of Defence should be more open and accessible for other ministries and institutions occupied with environmental protection. Computer application should raise the quality of information support, restrict the number of documents inside the system, and make use of analytical and decision-making programs.
