Project 1- Next
Generation Emergency Dispatch and Disaster Management
Goals: To investigate the
application of commercial computer aided dispatch, GIS and integration
technologies in creation of an enhanced emergency dispatch management
environment. The aim is to improve the effectiveness of emergency
management personnel through increased situational awareness, focused
applications of Telemedicine and provision of historical patient data to
paramedics on call.
Methods: The proposed system
will employ GIS-based situation displays to depict appropriate real time
information to facilitate informed emergency response. Information
available for integrated GIS based display will include:
- Locations, skills and current
availability of hospitals and clinics
- Real-time location of EMS
responders
- Location of AED (Automated
External Defibrillator)
- Patient identification
verification and retrieval of patient specific information from a
simulated database of high risk patients.
- Best available rout to appropriate
medical facility
- Traffic forecasts, including
current road closings and construction work
- Situation report from field
responders during large scale emergency
The
system will provide an integrated environment to the emergency response
dispatcher, displaying all patient conditions to facilitate effective
communication with responders . This project will investigate the
effectiveness of linking dispatch facilities , paramedics and ED
physician to improve pre-hospital outcome for the patient.
