Electronic Documentation and Digital, IT Technology in Pre-Hospital Emergency Care

doi: 10.32567/hm.2021.4.13

Abstract

In recent years Hungarian healthcare including outpatient and inpatient medical institutions and the Emergency  Medical Services providing emergency care have undergone numerous IT improvements. In addition to  patient health documentation, electronic digital technology  provides a telemedicine opportunity for at-the-scene care,  helping and supporting care, diagnosis and patient path- related decisions. The National Emergency Services are  involved in the development and implementation of mobile  applications that assist at-the-scene first aid provided by  non-professionals in cases where early intervention can be  life-saving for the patient. By providing the possibility of  requesting direct assistance in unexpected situations, not  only can the request for assistance be made easier and  simpler, but the scene of the medical emergency or injury  can also be precisely determined without the assistance of  the person who reports the emergency case.
