What is PMITS?
The Patient Movement Items Tracking System (PMITS) is a DHSS mission sensitive system
that tracks the biomedical equipment needed to support critical patient life sustainment
and monitoring during aeromedical evacuations. PMITS is used by the Army, Air Force,
Navy and Marine Corps during peacetime, contingency and wartime operations.

PMITS Importance
 Trained personnel ensure PMI is scanned every time it
moves
 Theater leadership reinforces importance of:
• PMITS scan
• Item Data Update
• Interface tracking data
 Monitored by AMC SGXL by unit and analyzed twice
weekly to ensure mission success
 Enforce scanning discipline to ensure equipment
promptly scanned in and out
 Provide accurate and timely data for recycling

Why PMITS?
 PMITS keeps track of officially designated medical equipment,
and as the assets are moved from to place, they are scanned
and recorded
 Through a process of communication, the recorded scans are
eventually shared with other PMIS workstations and also the
PMITS website
 This process enables you to look up assets and find out where
they are, where they were, or where they are destined to be
