    A new Emergency Medical Services Information System (EMSIS) offers comprehensive poison control features, including call registration, database access, and treatment protocols. This user-friendly system is designed for easy implementation at any medical center.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Informatics
    • Emergency Medicine
    • Toxicology

    Background:

    • Poisoning cases require rapid access to critical information for effective treatment.
    • Existing emergency medical services systems may lack specialized toxicology resources.
    • A centralized, accessible information system can improve emergency response and patient care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and describe a user-oriented Emergency Medical Services Information System (EMSIS).
    • To integrate essential toxicology and emergency treatment resources into a single platform.
    • To create a system adaptable for implementation in various medical centers.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a minicomputer-based EMSIS.
    • Integration of Poisindex database and EMS treatment protocols.

  • Implementation of video terminals across multiple hospital departments for system access.

    • Main Results:

    • The EMSIS provides online registration of poison center calls.
    • It offers access to Poisindex, patient information, treatment protocols, diagnostic assistance, and drug dosage recommendations.
    • The system supports an average of 20 simultaneous users via video terminals in various clinical settings.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed EMSIS is a valuable tool for enhancing emergency medical services, particularly in managing poisoning cases.
    • Its user-oriented design and comprehensive features facilitate efficient information retrieval and decision-making.
    • The system's modular nature allows for straightforward establishment in other medical centers, promoting wider adoption of advanced emergency care information systems.
