Step One: Patient Intake

• Patient Record is first created using a portable scanner.
• Patient is given a barcoded triage tag (works with all major triage tags, including LaserBand ).
• Triage tag is scanned, along with key patient information.
• Patient photograph is captured and stored.
• Can occur at the incident scene or at a hospital.
• DMS recommends barcode technology, however RFID is available.

Step Two: Patient Data Transfer

• Information is sent to local PC via wireless or batch upload.
• PC connects to internet and patient data is sent to EOCs, Red Cross, Hospitals and/or other agencies.
• Multiple wide area connection options, including CDMA, GSM, Satellite dish or satellite phone, WiMax, and mesh networks.
• Hospitals can be informed of the number and status of incoming patients.
• Decisions on where to route patients can be made based upon real time data on patient counts and hospital bed availability.
• Families can be more quickly notified of the status and location of their loved ones.

Step Three: Patient and Incident Reports

• Easily configurable system allows for custom reports, queries and forms without costly, time consuming programming changes.
• Attach data to other systems web service, XML or flat file for inter-agency communication.
