Depend on GD’s CAREpoint Workstation and e-Bridge Communication Platform

Rapid pre-hospital notifications and instant, secure data sharing and recording help EMS and emergency departments communicate more effectively than ever before.

These solutions enable EMS and hospitals to share vitals and treatment information in advance, virtually place physicians at the scene via live video, and provide access to online medical control. EMS can automatically alert the ED and acute care teams of patient arrival time through geo-mapping, and reduce handoff times.

How many lives can you save with faster patient handoff times, improved communication and telehealth?

From first point of medical contact through handoff to the emergency department, EMS agencies provide care that can make all the difference in patient outcomes.

In the field, clear and thorough communication between EMS and other healthcare organizations is critical to relaying detailed patient information in a timely manner so that hospital teams can put the proper personnel in place for patient arrival. No matter the scenario, EMS and hospital teams function better when they have resources to work together to improve quality of care and reduce treatment times and risk.

Advantages for EMS

Creating a Seamless Model for Acute Care in EMS

Our Resources
The use of e-Bridge has allowed us to strengthen our partnership with area ambulance services by streamlining and enhancing prehospital communication, thereby benefiting patients and providers alike. For example, every minute counts when a patient presents with a stroke and receiving detailed patient information 'from the field' allows us to better prepare for such a patient's arrival at Mercy.
