Abstract: A system and method for aggregating and providing subscriber medical record information to medical units. The system includes an ICE medical record server that stores a plurality of medical records of respective subscribers. When a subscriber is being attended by a medical unit, the medical unit using a communication device sends an identification number to the server. In response, the server sends the subscriber's medical record to the communication device. The communication device may populate a medical form with the information and display it for use in diagnosing and treating the subscriber. The medical unit may annotate the medical form to document the on-going emergency, and upload it to a professional medical record server, which may provide the information to a medical facility to which the subscriber will be transported.
Abstract: A system and method for providing information about resource availability, especially during an emergency such as a natural disaster, is herein proposed. The system stores resource information about multiple facilities, across cities, counties, states and even countries. Such information can be provided to designated users based on specified access levels for the user and the resource information. Further, the system is able to exchange the resource availability information with external systems and databases. The resource information is also automatically updated to reflect the most current information. The system is useful in directing resources to participate in an emergency. Further the system aggregates resource information based on one or more attributes, such as region, hospital, city, state, etcetera, that is associated with the resource information.
