04AP-10-EMCS - System, Emergency Medical Communication
Description
Communication system for use by emergency medical personnel that aids in triage, treatment, and transport of victims by providing a framework for data capture and exchange. Using smart phone or tablet devices and Internet connectivity, these systems provide menu-based entry of critical patient information, and interactive transmission of this data to hospital resources. Such systems may also provide interactive video and telemedicine support to medical responders, as well as aid selection of transport destination based upon patient requirements and destination facilities. This functionality may also be obtainable via subscription as a cloud-based service, as opposed to purchasing software. However, special security considerations apply for data stored remotely, including HIPAA requirements. See 04AP-11-SAAS for further information.
