Evaluating the usability of EMS

communications and data systems

Utilizing design methodology to improve communications and data systems

between EMS crews and the ER in order to reduce complexity and improve

response and treatment time.



COLLECTING: In order to discover key problems within the systems used to relay informationsuch as the chief medical complaint, vital signs and many others, interviews, observations, and EMSvehicle ride alongs were used to gather information.



ANALYZING: Data, observations, photographs, and interviews were compiled and used to findtrends that depicted problems with the current systems as well as features that were both liked anddisliked in the current hardware and features that were desired but where not yet in place. A clear andwell defined problem was then outlined which showed a range of small problems and severelydisjointed information systems.



DEFINING: The current system used to communicate and transfer information involves up toeleven different devices and multiple sub-systems, some of which have no direct connectivity to theother sub-systems.

SOLVING: This proposed system will use up to five different devices with only one sub-system.It will also utilize the idea of an “intranet” where in all components will have an inter-connectivity.
