Abstract :
In this paper, we present the design and development of an integrated database system for the support of an emergency health care department. The system allows patient administration, patient record management, information exchange within the department and Ambulance vehicles management. It was designed as an addition to a previous developed system which supports emergency telemedicine. The system has passed the initial testing and verification phase and is now entering the final evaluation phase before moving into the department´s daily routine
