The Driving Force of EMS Communications
In the early 1990’s Jack Taxis was looking for something more organized for centralizing incoming EMS communications and found General Devices.
What began first with GEMS 2000 workstation in the 90’s, then to the CAREpoint Workstation in 2004, and now to the new CAREpoint 3 Workstation, Jax Taxis led his team to seeing great achievements in patient care and national treatment metrics.
“The driving force from the CAREpoint was to get away from the med channel radios and go more towards a cell phone” said Taxis.
