Abstract:
Chest pain is a unique symptom in medical narration because the underlying cause can vary from mild acidity to massive Acute Myocardial Infarction also known as heart attack. Medical dispatching today is geared towards patient safety however too many Advanced Life Support (ALS) responses are made due to protocol of following every chest pain call. These ALS responses lead to inefficient use of community resources. Computerized dispatch protocol integrated with the dispatch station can achieve same level of patient safety with better utilization of Emergency Medical System (EMS) resources.
