Medusa Medical Technologies, a maker of specialty software for paramedics out of Halifax, Nova Scotia, has announced compatibility of its reporting system with a Philips HeartStart cardiac monitor/defibrillator. Using the system, an EMT can relay data straight from the monitor to the emergency ward where the ambulance is going. It is hoped that relaying live data to the receiving staff will improve the response time to the patient once he or she is in the hospital.
From Medusa:
Siren ePCR Suite is an industry-leading patient care reporting system. It enables paramedics to administer care while recording critical patient data that they transmit in real-time to receiving facilities. Siren ultimately improves data accuracy by downloading data from the HeartStart MRx directly into the tablet PC software, including ECG, vitals, treatments, and events. This system helps to support a decrease of discovery-to-treatment times by enabling the patient’s care to be evaluated and treatment to be given en route to the hospital.
