DOCUMENTATION AND DATA-ACQUISITION OF A P HYSICIAN-GUIDED EMERGENCY SERVICE SYSTEM 1996

Documentation by protocol in a physician-guided emergency service syst em (EMS) has to be reviewed. The multi-staging functions are: Transmis sion of patient state and information, evaluation of efficiency and qu ality assurance, maintaining the database for scientific research, Per formance of data acquisition should be available a short distance away the emergency event and process, The best set-up would be more the co mputer system and the tool of documentation acted as a functional unit , There are three ways of process engineering: documentation by paperp rotocol, paper-for-document-reader (OMR) and PC-aided off/online syste m, The idea of a standard protocol published by the DIVI depending on the common sense of all users has not yet spread over the whole countr y yet, However, a minimal data set (MIND) for EMS service can be used to integrate the content of the existing data acquisition models into a common concept, With this concept it will be possible to compare the different data sets in the aspects of internal and external quality a ssurance.
