Product Description
Why use a different solution for everyday and large-scale events. Why not use products, everyday that scale to meet the critical incident.

Following the NIMS (National Incident Management System) Med Media has combined it’s everyday proven chubby-client and WebCUR data warehousing technology into the next evolution in incident management.

These next generation tools manage your everyday business of providing care and can immediately be used for any large scale or out of the ordinary event.

The chubby client keeps your information up to date and automatically compensates for your level of connectivity. Utilizing SSL (secure socket layer) encrypted, Internet connections over readily available local methods, provides redundancy and cost efficiency.

Building a system is as simple as adding modules. Each Module is integrated into WebCUR, providing interoperability, share-ability and scalability. Using portal and Ajax technology creates a platform window into your operations and brings standalone applications into one location.

This scenario represents what is available utilizing chubby-client and WebCUR data warehousing technology coupled with PSIM on a wireless laptop in ABC’s ambulance that is sitting on the street corner waiting for a call:

Unit 11’s two providers, Joe Jones, Sally Smith having just finished a cardiac run sat in the Starbucks lot, taking a minute to check messages on the WebCUR system. The group dispatch indicated a crash at a well-known intersection with 2 cars and a passenger van. According to plan they would be one of three units to initially respond. Joe realizes that this has potential and that the hospitals have been very busy all day. He opens the hospital status page and sees that the immediate and closest hospital has no trauma beds available and only one pediatric but the next three have 15 beds among them. He knows the first unit, by protocol will begin triage and scene size up. As the first unit in, Unit 22, Tom and Bill begin making their way among the patients and putting a triage bands on every patient and scanning the bar code into their laptop and handheld with a GPS coordinate attached. Bill puts out an update that they have 16 patients, many speaking French and that Unit 11 will be IC at 3rd and Main. As Joe hears this, he enters the WebCUR portal and does a quick search in the Registry and finds that Amy on Unit 44 speaks fluid French and asks Dispatch to bring them to the scene, along with the MCI trailer and 3 additional units. As Joe and Sallyarrive on-scene, Joe can begin to see the patient’s locations, triage tag number and color show up on his screen, and has an immediate count of each category. Sally begins resource management as Joe and Bill decide where to put the triage, transport and staging areas while Tom has begun initial life saving treatments. Sally begins to have responding units vector to the location for easy in and out based on the decided upon sectors and the map she has pulled up on the laptop. The MCI trailer will be here in less than ten minutes and will be directed to the triage area where they will supply equipment and set up the MCI private wireless network to take the data load off the Dispatch channels. She knows that as it comes online, the laptops and handhelds will access it allowing all the on-scene units interoperability and data exchange. As units arrive, one crewmember goes to the triage area with the predefined equipment from their unit and the other crewmember stays with their unit in the staging area, where it shows up on the resource sectors screen thanks to the GPS broadcast from the unit. Sally begins to see all the pieces of ICS come together on her screen as patients enter into the triage area, they are scanned and transfer on her screen also. She knows the transport officer is seeing the same patients and aligning units in anticipation to transport to the appropriate hospitals. As patients are loaded, their patient information is dropped onto the receiving facility, allowing those facilities to see the patient info prior to arrival. Sally using the WebCUR Portal, sees the cameras attached to the MCI trailer and deployed wireless towers come online and decides to use the 4.9 MHz backhaul to push a view of all the scene activities to the Operations Center where is it is made available to the Field Chiefs in vehicle laptops. She also checks the weather and the system status to see if they will be a factor. As the incident begins to wind down, Sally begins the process of accounting for all patients, providers and supplies used on-scene for the after action report by reviewing the various sectors establish and depicted on her screen. She knows that the final report will be assembled from her on-scene log, the Operations Center’s video recordings and supplemental reports attached to the file. Although this was Sally’s first incident using the system in a real incident, she had trained multiple times in tabletops and reviewing previous files. What really gave her confidence was that majority of the tools she used today for the incident are the same ones she and all the crews use on a daily basis for ePCR, operations management, continuing education, messaging and task management.
