BOMC … what’s new in Air Force Medicine
By 99th Medical Group
NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, Nev. —
The 99th Medical Group’s Base Op-
erational Medicine Cell is a new way of
delivering operational and occupational
medicine to Airmen while continuing to
deliver injury and illness care through
assigned primary care managers in the
manner everyone is accustomed too.
In bringing the Air Force Medical
Service in line with the Secretary of De-
fense’s new initiatives, Air Force Medi-
cal leadership designed the new system
of health care around the concept of
“Trusted Care.”
“The concept of trusted care includes
a commitment to vigilance for circum-
stances posing risk to our patients,” said, ists in each phase of the operational and
Lt. Gen. Mark Ediger, U. S. Air Force
surgeon general. “That vigilance requires
ongoing careful examination of our
processes and outcomes with a focus on
continuous process improvement through
day-to-day problem solving. While our
processes for providing care and our pro-
grams for improving quality meet indus-
try standards, we must sustain a critical
vigilant eye toward our own processes and
performance to ensure an indefatigable

effort to improve. Our steadfast goal is to all hospital beds in the U.S.
provide the very best care, every day for
every patient.

stages here in Aeromedical Clinic and will
require training of staff over the next few alcohol to minor,” said Kelly.
months,” said, Col. Christopher McNulty,
99th MDG, chief of aerospace medicine.
“We hope the transition will be transpar-
ent to service members. We believe that
the new processes will result in more
efficient ways to complete standardized
physical exams and will eventually pay
back with reduced wait times, more ac-
curate administrative paperwork, and
reduced re-work needing to be accom-
plished.”
The end result will produce special-
occupational exam processes, which will
able to proficiently complete standardized
exams with 100 percent accuracy of each
exam. It will be a system of continuous
process improvement, eliminating ad-
ministrative errors with the ultimate goal
of improving service for our patients.
The 99th MDG thanks everyone for
their patience while they train personnel
and put BOMC into operation at Nellis
AFB.

ALCOHOL, from page 6 ______
“The Air Force expects its members
to adhere to the law in regards to not
consuming alcohol if you are under
the age of 21 years old, or providing
For those who are not 21 years old,
the Air Force has a strict “zero-toler-
ance” policy toward underage con-
sumption. Those who are over 21 and
wish to participate in the consumption
of alcohol are highly encouraged to
drink responsibly and have a plan.
“You don’t want to be stuck in that
situation where you’re using your bad
judgment as intoxicated to drive,”
said Weaver. “Which you should
never make that decision to drink
and drive, but when you’re intoxicated
your judgement is impaired and when
you don’t have a plan you’re more
likely to take that route.”
One of the most important aspects
of having a plan and being respon-
sible is having a suitable means of
transportation. This part of the plan
is made easier by an organization of-
fered to all Airmen who are unable
to find a designated driver: Airmen
Against Drunk Driving.

to another party,” said Weaver. “I tell
that to the First Term Airmen Center
students, that this is a backup plan not
your first plan.”
From 11 p.m. to 4 a.m., after a night
out if an Airman doesn’t have a way
home they can call 702-652-AADD
and another volunteer Airman will
come pick them up free of charge.
“Our program is solely based on
volunteers, if we don’t get volun-
teers we can’t do the shift, simple as
that,” said Weaver. “Our program is
also based on anonymity; we do not
discuss or divulge info to chain of
command or first sergeant that could
possibly hurt an Airman’s career.”
While AADD is a free and anony-
mous program, Airmen should keep
in mind that it is a last resort and
should not be used in substitute for
planning a designated driver.
Since AADD is available to Air-
men as a last resort, drinking safely
becomes an easily accomplished task
even if all other plans fall through,
and with April being alcohol aware-
ness month it is vital that Airmen
know the options available to them.
For more information, or to vol-
unteer for the AADD program, email

service, call 702-652-2233.
