SICK CALL TREATMENT LOG
A log referred to as the Sick Call Treatment Log is
maintained for each ship or activity. The log contains
each patient’s reporting date and time, name, rate,
social security number, command, division,
complaint, diagnosis, treatment, disposition, and
departure time from sick call. When full, the log is
retired in accordance with SECNAVINST 5212.5.
BINNACLE LIST
The Binnacle List, NAVMED 6320/18, is used to
excuse an individual from duty for a period of 24 hours
or less. This report is prepared by the senior medical
department representative on board and should be
submitted to the commanding officer no later than
0930 each day. This form contains a list of individuals
recommended to be excused from duty because of
illness.
The list is approved by the commanding
officer, and no names may be added without the CO’s
permission.
MORNING REPORT OF THE SICK
The Morning Report of the Sick, NAVMED
6320/19, is used to excuse an individual from duty for a
period of more than 24 hours. This report contains a
list of the sick and injured, including names,
diagnoses, and conditions. It is prepared by the senior
medical department representative on board and is
submitted to the commanding officer by 1000 daily.
When it is necessary to excuse someone from duty
after the Morning Report of the Sick is submitted, add
the patient’s name to the Binnacle List, and submit the
appropriate report to the commanding officer. If a
patient is still unfit for duty when the next Morning
Report of the Sick is submitted, add his name to the
NAVMED 6320/19 as of the date on which his name
was first entered on the Binnacle List. If a satisfactory
diagnosis cannot be established, simply note
“Diagnosis undetermined” and indicate the chief
complaint. Report suspected cases of malingering to
the commanding officer.
TRAINING LOG
All lectures and training periods that are part of the
medical training program should be recorded in the
Training Log and a notation made in the Medical
Department Journal. The entries should include the
date, location, type of training (GMT, etc.) or subject
matter, and what department personnel received the
training (Engineering, Deck, etc.).
IMMUNIZATION LOG
To aid you in annotating health records and filling
out monthly medical reports, develop and maintain an
immunizations log. As the minimum, the information
should include the date; name; rank; social security
number; immunization type; duty station; and, for
personnel receiving PPDs, a contact phone number.
There should also be space for adverse reactions.
WATER TEST LOG
The purpose of the water test log is to record the
readings of daily residual chlorine or bromine levels
and the weekly bacteriological examinations required
on potable water aboard ship and in the field.
APPOINTMENT LOG
The purpose of the appointment log is to track
medical consultations and clinical appointments that
are scheduled by the Medical Department. When a
patient is unable to keep an appointment, a notation
indicating both the cancellation and rescheduling of
the appointment should be made in the log. Multiple
appointment cancellations by the same member should
be brought to the attention of the member’s chain of
command.
