Improved Location Accuracy
Information to 911
Information from 911
With improved location accu- racy, responders will reach victims sooner and triage the scene more eciently. This is especially important in challenging environments like rural areas or parks, densely populated urban areas or on
freeways. Mobile callers may also not be aware of their exact location, hinder- ing first responders’ ability to reach them quickly. Because minutes count with critical patients, faster treatment improves outcomes and survival rates.
OTHER HEALTH SERVICES
Continuity of Patient Data In the NG911 environment, EMS would have access to more detailed medical history for a patient. In the future, the ability to merge medical data with 911 call data will give providers better on-scene information to improve patient care. Including outcome data within the patient record will provide a more complete picture to support performance improvement. Better data would translate to better overall patient care as well as the advancement of entire EMS systems.
