    Area of Science:

    • Emergency medical services
    • Health informatics
    • Public health infrastructure

    Background:

    • Osaka prefecture, a major industrial and commercial hub in Japan, has a population of 7.4 million.
    • The region is divided into 40 municipalities, each with an independent ambulance dispatching center.
    • Existing systems provide limited real-time information on physician and hospital bed availability.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the implementation and function of the Emergency Medical Services Information Center (EMS-IC) in Osaka prefecture.
    • To highlight how EMS-IC enhances emergency medical response through centralized information dissemination.

    Main Methods:

    • Establishment of an Emergency Medical Services Information Center (EMS-IC) with wireless network and memory devices.
    • Regular (3-hourly) data collection from 300 hospitals and clinics on specialist availability and vacant beds.
    • Dissemination of real-time information to various emergency and medical stakeholders.

    Main Results:

    • EMS-IC successfully collects and distributes critical information on specialist and bed availability.
    • The center provides real-time recommendations for the most appropriate medical institutions to ambulances.
    • Information on blood and antiserum availability is also stored and accessible.

    Conclusions:

    • The EMS-IC system in Osaka prefecture significantly improves emergency medical response coordination.
    • Centralized, real-time data sharing enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of emergency medical services.
    • This model provides a valuable framework for improving healthcare logistics in densely populated regions.
