Analysis of the advantages of EMS for communication base stations

How can public safety broadband support EMS response?

They identify the different public safety broadband capabilities needed to support EMS response (e.g., video consultation with a base station physician). They examine real time “tactical” uses as well as “strategic” uses of broadband data which will support both incident response and future analysis.

Why do EMS need technology?

Technology is needed to mine needed data from a wide variety of sources and databases, aggregate the data and display it in a meaningful way for EMS to use.

Should EMS agencies collaborate on a regionwide basis?

EMS agencies should collaborate on a regionwide basis to avoid implementation of multiple, disparate applications. Multiple applications create a burden on Emergency Departments who may need to monitor several screens for the same data, but which originate from different EMS providers.

How can voice activated EMS assistants improve patient care?

Data aggregation of information from remote health care databases will enhance on scene patient care. Voice Activated EMS Assistants can support creation of the EMS patient care report, provide guidance on medication dosages, and assist with treatment protocol compliance.

Why do EMS agencies need to collaborate with industry?

There is a need for ongoing collaboration between EMS agencies and industry in order to ensure that new technology solutions are designed for mission critical response and patient care.

How does a paramedic transmit patient care data?

The paramedic then transmits a “final” patient care record to the EMS system Records Management System and to the Level 2 trauma center. Patient care data is transmitted from the scene to the ED prior to the arrival of the patient (before they are registered as a patient in the hospital system).
