FOR IMMEDIATE
RELEASE
National Park
Service Adopts emsCharts Software for Emergency Documentation &
Management
Technology will be deployed at all parks
nationwide
Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania – November 25, 2009 – emsCharts, Inc. proudly announces
today that the National Park Service has chosen to implement
emsCharts for electronic patient data collection and management of
emergency incidents within all of the National Parks.
The National Park
System is comprised of 391 parks covering more than 84 million acres
in the United States and American territories, and provides
emergency medical services for people who become ill or injured
within National Park areas. This results in over 16,000 incidents
responded to by over 1,500 EMS providers Service-wide. The NPS has
elected to implement the emsCharts system in order to electronically
document and collectively report on all incidents occurring in any
National Park.
The emsCharts
system is already in place at six National Parks including Grand
Canyon National Park, one of the NPS’s busiest, receiving over five
million visitors, annually. emsCharts, Inc. helped to pioneer
real-time and electronic data collection with software products that
use the Internet to connect first responders with hospitals and
reporting agencies; thus expediting the entire process and leaving
more time to focus on patients’ needs. emsCharts, Inc. also offers
mobile, offline versions of their web product for use in ambulances,
helicopters, and on scene with patients.
Last year,
emsCharts developed functionality specifically designed for the
National Park Service including incident tracking by United States
National Grid Location. This coupled with Bio Surveillance and
Injury Tracking will provide NPS Park EMS Coordinators, Medical
Directors, Department of Interior Leadership, and Epidemiologists
with real-time, nationwide notification when injury or illness
thresholds are crossed. NPS leadership can immediately identify
injury and illness patterns based on auto-generated reports and
real-time alerts.
