ABSTRACT
In the demanding realm of the Emergency Department, addressing every emergency incident efficiently becomes paramount, with time emerging as a critical factor. This paper is dedicated to investigating innovative approaches aimed at diminishing the preparation time required when a patient arrives at the hospital. Our methodology involves the integration of pre-hospital warning data, a valuable resource provided by the National Science and Technology Center for Disaster Reduction (NCDR), with an advanced flashing light alert system. This integration specifically targets a reduction in preparation time for major traumas, Cerebrovascular Accidents (CVAs), Out-Of-Hospital Cardiac Arrests (OHCAs), and Acute Myocardial Infarctions (AMIs) at the South Medical Center in Taiwan. By streamlining these critical processes, our research endeavors to enhance overall efficiency and responsiveness within emergency medical care, achieving an average preparation time of 6.61 minutes.
