  • paramedics After being assigned a call, the medical emergency unit assumes primary responsibility for making sure that the patient receives the proper medical treatment.
  • medical emergency units assess the status of the situation and the medical condition of the potential patient in particular. In assessing the potential patient's status, EMTs and paramedics can perform a cursory examination and begin collecting background information from either the victim or witnesses. The background information can include the victim's name, type of insurance, medical history, and circumstances surrounding the call.
  • medical personnel may decide if the patient should be transported to a medical facility.
  • these individuals transport the patient to the medical facility.
  • an EMT can complete several procedures designed at stabilizing the patient. These procedures could include measuring the patient's vitals such as pulse, respiration, blood pressure, and heart rate.
  • medical personnel can perform other medical procedures such as administering cardiopulmonary resuscitation or stabilizing the patient's neck. Consequently, medical personnel manually complete multiple tasks including transporting the patient, recording treatment administered to the patient, and notifying the medical facility of the patient's expected arrival.
  • emergency medical personnel may give a general synopsis of the patient's condition to the medical facility as well as surrounding circumstances. For example, a paramedic may inform the hospital that the victim has a gunshot to the head and is unconscious.
  • an EMT may begin briefing the hospital staff on the patient's medical condition.
  • the EMT could begin reciting the patient's name, vital signs, circumstances surrounding the trauma, treatment, as well as some of the patient's background information. Because the patient's medical condition could be life threatening at this stage, effective conveyance of this information from emergency medical personnel to the hospital staff can be particularly important.
  • the hospital staff can appropriately treat the patient. Because the medical facility may have only received a general synopsis of the patient's condition, this step may involve an exploration of the possible causes for the patient's physical condition as well as acquiring additional information from either the victim or the victim's family. For example, the hospital could spend valuable time identifying present medical conditions aggravated by the present trauma.
  • most conventional solutions remain primarily manual and include a great potential for error. For example, relevant medical data could be omitted during the conveyance of •information from the emergency medical personnel to the hospital personnel. In addition, implementation of conventional treatment solutions often results in considerable time losses.

  • the card can store background information for a patient such as name, photograph, primary care physician, blood type, living will, address, and insurance information.
  • the data management system can efficiently extract this information from the card without beginning a lengthy information acquisition period. For example, an EMT can learn that a patient has diabetes and alter treatment accordingly.
  • a medical device interface within the data management system can connect this system to various commercially available medical devices.
  • the data management system electronically records the patient's vitals with limited involvement by emergency medical personnel.
  • the data management system includes an input device interface that can connect input devices, which aid medical personnel in recording administered treatment.
  • medical personnel can simply verbalize administered treatment and the data management system electronically records this information.
  • medical personnel can focus more time on actually treating the patient.
  • Another advantage resulting from use of the data management system allows user customization of the desired amount of automation. Users can indicate if reports or designated forms should be automatically constructed. For example, the data management system can automatically generate a hospital admission form when it receives background information. Similarly, this system could also automatically generate a triage report after receiving medical readings and administered treatment. Alternatively, a user could specify that a. location report, which uses a global positioning system, should not be generated until medical personnel specify both an originating destination and a final destination. Users can also specify if reports should be automatically transmitted to the receiving hospital or periodically updated. For example, a user could specify that a location report, which includes an estimated time of arrival, should be sent when the emergency vehicle is at least fifteen miles from the medical facility and be updated every three minutes.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un système de traitement médical reposant sur l'utilisation d'un système mobile de gestion de données qui procure un certain nombre d'avantages: marge de temps supplémentaire pour le personnel médical d'urgence aux fins de traitement et marge de temps supplémentaire pour les hôpitaux aux fins de préparation. Le système mobile comprend une interface qui transfère les données associées au patient depuis un dispositif d'entrée. Un système de contrôle analyse les données et établit un rapport qui identifie les données pertinentes du point de vue médical. Le système mobile comprend en outre un écran pour l'affichage des données ou du rapport. Un système de communication permet de transmettre le rapport en un point distant avant l'arrivée du patient. Selon une variante, l'invention concerne un système de traitement médical d'urgence destiné au personnel médical, pour le traitement du patient sur le chemin qui mène à une unité médicale. Enfin, le système d'urgence comporte également une interface, un système de contrôle, un écran et un système de communication.
