Abstract

In large scale emergencies with very limited work force it is difficult to provide best possible care for all the patients. In these circumstances one has to concentrate to the patients that need the care most and there is usually not enough human resources to monitor those patients that do not require immediate medical care. In this paper we describe an automated monitoring device combined to an automated emergency medical care documentation. Based on the documentation system a coordination information system is created. The coordination system monitors patients, resources and supplies facilitating decision making in the coordination process.
