RELEASE
emsCharts Teams
With RED BIKE Medical Technologies
EMS Medical Technologies firm promotes mobile patient data
collection products
Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania – July 14, 2009 – emsCharts, Inc. announced today that
they have established a partnership with RED BIKE medical
technologies, an organization devoted to breaking away from outmoded
technologies and methods in order to achieve high yield sustainable
outcomes for EMS agencies. RED BIKE endorses emsCharts products for
fast, effective mobile patient data collection.
RED BIKE adopted its
name, in part to promote and support cost-effective,
environmentally-conscious, fitness-friendly EMS Bike Team programs
that are now prevalent and poised for growth in EMS communities
worldwide. RED BIKE is a new division of ThinkThroughTools, which
promotes education, safety, and outreach programs for Air Medical
Transport providers. Rich Obertots, co-founder of ThinkThroughTools
and Managing Director for RED BIKE, explains the need for the new
division, “We devoted the past ten years evolving in one of the most
high cost and technology intensive arenas—Air Medical Transport. As
our economic times will increase pressure to vastly lower operating
costs, our offerings like emsCharts and eLearning to advance EMS
management skills, as well as our commitment to get more EMS Bike
Teams deployed, will help cut costs for EMS delivery.”
emsCharts, Inc.
helped to pioneer real-time and electronic data collection with
software products that use the Web 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, which lends
itself easily to EMS Bike Team initiatives.
Beginning Tuesday,
July 14, 2009, RED BIKE medical technologies is conducting the first
in a series of Evidence Based EMS Bike Team surveys to examine
current trends and use of dynamic data management technologies. By
surveying a sampling of the EMS industry – specifically participants
in this emerging facet, poised for growth in EMS communities
world-wide – RED BIKE hopes to better understand how EMS Bike Teams are
using mobile medical technologies to capture, analyze and report on
their overall performance and engagement with key stakeholders.
“To sustain
themselves and to attain increased growth support and funding,
leading EMS Bike Teams recognize the high value of being evidence
based,” Obertots says. “They know the most efficient method to
provide evidence is by using dynamic data management. A primary goal
of our survey is to better understand how many are doing this and to
share with others just how they are.”
The survey is
available at
http://tinyurl.com/nppzyl. Participants are asked to complete
the survey on or before 14:00 CDT Thurs., July 23. Responses and
comments will remain confidential. The final summary will be
published at 14:00 CDT July 30.
