Summary
This study details an online Emergency Medical Services Management Information System (ESMIS) to improve emergency case management from location to hospital arrival. The system optimizes patient care coordination and information flow within emergency medical services.
Area of Science:
- Health Informatics
- Emergency Medicine Management
- Information Systems
Background:
- Efficient emergency case management is critical for patient outcomes.
- Current systems may lack integrated information flow from point of incident to hospital.
- Optimizing the emergency medical services pathway requires robust information systems.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate and design an improved system for emergency case management.
- To develop an online Emergency Medical Services Management Information System (ESMIS).
- To outline the design procedure and focus on output specifications for ESMIS.
Main Methods:
- Investigation of the emergency case care pathway.
- Design and implementation of an online information management system.
- Utilizing the TOTAL database management system for ESMIS implementation.
Main Results:
- Development of an on-line Emergency Medical Services Management Information System (ESMIS).
- Detailed specification of ESMIS outputs as a key design step.
- A framework for managing emergency medical services information.
Conclusions:
- The developed ESMIS provides a structured approach to emergency case management.
- Effective information system design is crucial for optimizing emergency medical services.
- ESMIS implementation using TOTAL database management system offers a viable solution.
