Abstract :
The Texas State Department of Health has been instrumental in developing an emergency medical communications network throughout the state. This type of network has proved to be a daily convenience and a priceless necessity in times of widespread disaster. It provides a basic voice communications system between hospitals, ambulances, and emergency medical personnel in the state, yet remains simple to operate and annoyance free. This network should result in significantly better emergency medical care in the state.
