  • Title: An integration of Emergency Department Information and Ambulance Systems.
    Author: Al-Harbi N, El-Masri S, Saddik B.
    Journal: Stud Health Technol Inform; 2012; 180():985-9. PubMed ID: 22874341.
    Abstract:
    In this paper we propose an Emergency Department Information System that will be integrated with the ambulance system to improve the communication, enhance the quality of provided emergency services and facilitate information sharing. The proposed system utilizes new advanced technologies such as mobile web services that overcome the problems of interoperability between different systems, HL7 and GPS. The system is unique in that it allows ambulance officers to locate the nearest specialized hospital and allows access to the patient's electronic health record as well as providing the hospital with required information to prepare for the incoming patient.
