Solution to ambulance
Data transfer from medical transport devices to HIS during patient transportation
Problematics
- The results of measurements and research conducted during patient transportation in an ambulance often do not enter the medical information system and do not affect further treatment
- Entering data from medical devices is based on written notes or the doctor's memory, which can lead to loss of information and errors in medical documents
- Manual entry of information into the HIS can take up to 20% of the working time of medical staff, which could be used for making medical decisions and working with patients
- During patient transportation, parameters and measurement data from urgent tests are transmitted to the receiving organization verbally over the phone or through a dispatcher, which can lead to their distortion

- Increase in objectiveness of patient’s health assessment by a receiving healthcare provider
