Abstract :
Life is priceless, so pre-hospital evaluation and management is important in emergency medical service. To enhance the quality of emergency medical service, the mobile hospital emergency medical system (MHMES) is designed to provide for e-prepared services. This system could improve the communication among the ambulance, the dispatch and mission control center and the emergency department of the hospital via a wireless network, and provide comprehensive service during pre-hospital resuscitation and transportation of the patients. The MHMES consists of three sub-systems located in three sites respectively, dispatch and mission control center, emergency department of hospital and ambulance. It includes electrical map to track the ambulances and transfer patients situation and histories with the hospital to follow the symptom. Therefore, this system would be able to reduce the mortality during transportation and enhance the safety and quality of emergency medical service. It structures an emergency informatics system of National Taiwan University Hospital to provide a application of wireless network in a medical emergency service network.
