一種新型電子醫(yī)療系統(tǒng)用于機(jī)動(dòng)收集野外資料，使得急癥醫(yī)療系統(tǒng)工作人員（EMS）能夠在野外在寫字板上收集患者個(gè)人基本情況、醫(yī)療干預(yù)措施、重要生命體征和其它信息。

這些相同信息然后被傳送到患者醫(yī)療記錄系統(tǒng)，根據(jù)報(bào)告在自動(dòng)分配給相關(guān)科室。這套系統(tǒng)免除了每年成千上百份的耗時(shí)費(fèi)力的手工輸入患者報(bào)告的過程，顯著改善了資料傳送過程的錯(cuò)誤。

Caddo Parish公司剛剛完成了部署這種新系統(tǒng)的第一階段工程，系統(tǒng)行政主管Arthur Meacham評論說：“為我們EMS工作人員提供電子手段來完成報(bào)告，然后連接回傳給我們的記錄系統(tǒng)，這是無法估價(jià)的事情。我們首批使用者花費(fèi)了無數(shù)時(shí)間來處理過時(shí)的紙質(zhì)系統(tǒng)，寫出我們的報(bào)告然后進(jìn)入工作臺重新輸入計(jì)算機(jī)?！?/P>

這套系統(tǒng)聯(lián)合使用了HealthWare解決方案公司(Arcata, CA, USA)研制的軟件以及Bio-key國際集團(tuán)(Wall, NJ, USA)的醫(yī)療檔案管理系統(tǒng)，叫做FireRMS。結(jié)果是設(shè)計(jì)流線型報(bào)告領(lǐng)域并減少了一線工作人員完成報(bào)告的時(shí)間。

Bio-key國際公司首席執(zhí)行官M(fèi)ike DePasquale說：“Bio-key承諾為首批回應(yīng)者提供完整的解決方案，使他們的操作流暢，能夠著重于保護(hù)他們團(tuán)體的安全?！?
 
EMS Data Collection System
 
A new electronic medical system for the mobile collection of field data will enable emergency medical system workers (EMS) to capture patient demographics, medical interventions, vital signs, and other information on a pen tablet while in the field.

That same information is then sent to the patient’s records system, automatically populating the appropriate fields in the incident report. The system eliminates the time-consuming process of manually entering thousands of patient-care reports every year and significantly improves accuracy by eliminating transcription errors.

“Providing our EMS personnel with an electronic means for completing a report and then linking that back to our records system is invaluable,” commented Arthur Meacham, systems administrator for Caddo Parish (LA, USA), which has just completed the first phase of deploying the new system.

“Our first responders spent countless hours with the old paper system, writing out reports and then coming into the station to re-enter the data into a computer.”

The new system employs software developed by HealthWare Solutions (Arcata, CA, USA) combined with a records-management system of Bio-key International, Inc. (Wall, NJ, USA), called FireRMS. The result is designed to streamline field reporting and reduce completion time for front-line personnel.

“Bio-key is committed to providing first responders complete solutions to streamline their operations so they can focus on the protection and safety of their community,” said Mike DePasquale, CEO of Bio-key International.
