London Ambulance Service

If an ambulance is to achieve and work capably, lateness should not be put up with and sometimes if the ambulance was to arrive late at a certain house they could officially put a person’s life at risk.

UHN in Toronto is a major community care network that reaches out to and provides care to the masses. However in order to provide this kind of care they must have a very powerful decision support system. UHN utilizes an advanced CPR to support computerized physician order entry (CPOE). (Wu, Perters, & Morgan, 2002) A CPR system is a computer-based patient record system. A CPR system must provide a comprehensive clinical decision support it must include both a patient focus and a population focus. The physical computer system that is installed on the computers at UHN is called Patient 1® which is a clinical information system developed by Atlanta Based Per-Se

The Ambulance services have less complications than the Fire services does implementing the above concepts. The Fire service provides a larger spectrum of services and has many different apparatus for different uses. In the ambulance service they only have ALS and BLS ambulances which can sometimes work for eachother. For instance, a ALS ambulance can run a BLS call easily. However in the Fire service, a ALS ambulance cannot have the firefighting capabilities of a Truck or Engine crew. In addition, Ambulance companies have a plethora of resources that they can call on, to get another ambulance on the street is easy as calling a few people in since they have many spare ambulance that can be deployed if needed. The largest problem with the

Right now, the hospital has to choose between the risk of a bungled audit (which will require overtime from an exhausted, unmotivated staff, double the audit’s 15,000$ price tag and hurt their financial reputation) or hire Dovetail, who will potentially be able implement the system before the audit deadline, but at a heavy cost. The hospital administration needs to accept the fact that the bulk of the costs associated with bringing this computer system into production are labour costs rather than hardware and software. All the attempts to circumvent these costs have resulted in the need for greater expenditures.

PTSD’ is a mental illness, found most commonly effecting the mental state of individuals that have been exposed to confronting and/or traumatic events. Paramedics are people who in their everyday lives deal with low and high key events that can take a huge toll on their mental state ability. They are constantly sighting poor health and health conditions, trauma to another human, and the tragedy of death. (1)Despite being identified as a “high risk” occupational group, there is a lack of data concerning the prevalence of emotional problems among emergency ambulance personnel. The lack of data to support the PTSD levels of Paramedics is concerning especially when their work requires high level of concentration to perform precise procedures that

When trying to make an argument or persuade someone, images can be powerful tools. They can convey complex ideas that text alone cannot. Images also possess the ability to be simultaneously simple and natural while playing with the wits of the viewer. The Australian Red Cross Blood Service (ARCBS) is a part of the International Red Cross that seeks donations of two varieties for assistance in medical treatments namely cash and blood. The image that I have chosen is an ad print published by the ARCBS with assistance from a reputed ad agency M&C Saatchi. The advertisement proposes that though one of the two means of the donations is not familiar among the crowd, it is equally important as the other and tries to attract the readers towards

You found the data report the state sent out as part of the pilot confusing. The report painted a skewed picture as there were data elements you were not able to enter. There are also lack of clear definitions of the indicators to be reported upon. For example, scene time, should it only include the time from ambulance arrival to ambulance departure, or should it also include the time when an EMT responds directly to scene.

As part of a worldwide movement the American Red Cross offers care and hope to victims of war, poverty and natural disasters, and, as such it is with great anticipation that I will undertake the task of researching from various sources, and presenting its history, philosophy, mission, vision and value statement. Among this, I will briefly describe the culture of the organization, noting whether the organization’s espoused values align with its enacted values. I will also address the extent to which organizational culture is determined by communication or lack thereof and the role communication plays in perception and organizational culture. I will also explain how misalignment between espoused values and enacted values affect

Rather than making improvement in quality of data it has led to recording of bad data, while the primary goal is reduction of medical errors instead more errors have emerged that can comprise the quality of care and patient safety, for example a baby died from massive drug overdose because of transcription error when a handwritten order was entered in the system and this would have been avoided if automated alerts where turned on. Since there is no monitoring of EMR system. These systems may have developed Program errors or bugs, the way clinicians do their daily work. The complexity of tasks clinicians can perform using EMR with the pressure to quickly adopt the use of these systems because of the incentives created by HITECH. It is difficult for users to anticipate future challenges in using EMR and also when a lot of money have

The crew takes notes on hard copy reports in ambulance and completes patient care report on computers as soon as possible after completion of the run. Your local submission goal is 24 hours as set by your medical director. The data entry process can take anywhere from 20 to 40 minutes to complete depending on the complexity of the run.

Alternate Thesis 2: The cost to replace the current dangerously outdated, non-integrated emergency alert broadcast system would be high, but could save countless lives.

-  It is an international organization concerned with the alleviation of human suffering and the promotion of public health; the world-recognized symbols of mercy and absolute neutrality are the Red Cross, the Red Crescent, and the Red Crystal flags and emblems.

On a typical Friday night, most of my peers are hanging out with friends, out partying or even staying home to do homework. My Friday nights aren’t quite like that. My typical Friday night could include a car accident, a cardiac arrest, and an overdose all within one twelve hour period. After I realized I could become more active and make a difference in my community, I decided to join the Thurmont Ambulance Company once I turned 16. In this organization, I respond to emergency and non-emergency medical and fire calls, participate in public safety education nights, and work fundraisers to help fund our services. This past year, I volunteered 462.5 duty hours and responded to 55 ambulance calls. The opportunities I have been offered because of this organization are amazing. I am now a certified Hazardous Materials responder and have learned basic knowledge on the use of foam for firefighting through my Protective Envelope and Foam Certification.

In 1992 the LAS was proving Ambulances to the 6.8 million people in the city of London within a 600 square mile area. The general facts were that the LAS obtains a huge Calvary of vehicles and staff these include 2746 members of staff looking after 70 ambulance stations housing a helicopter, 445 transporting ambulances and 318 emergency ambulances but the problem was that only 212 on average was in service at any given time
