Abstract: The National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Office of Chief Health and Medical Officer (OCHMO), in conjunction with Johnson Space Center (JSC), Flight Medicine Clinic (FMC) is implementing the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Transition Authorization Act of 2017 the TREAT Astronauts Act, noted in subsection 441. (https://www.congress.gov/115/plaws/publ10/PLAW-115publ10.pdf). Implementation of this act necessitates the collection of information from former astronauts and/ or former payload specialists at the JSC FMC in order to provide treatment. Additionally, the information collected will develop a knowledge base on the effects of spaceflight; and identify any gaps in services that support medical monitoring, diagnosis and treatment of conditions associated with human space flight. The purpose for this information collection is to support the approved TREAT Astronauts Act for former astronauts and/ or former payload specialists. This information is collected with electronic forms built into the Electronic Medical Records (EMR) software in operation at the JSC, FMC.
