In this paper by applying multi agent systems a new pre-hospital emergency management architecture is presented.
In this research the pre-hospital emergency process and main components were extracted trough a comparative review of existing pre-hospital emergency architectures. Most of the studies and researches done in this field are focused on emergency or disaster management not specifically prehospital emergency.Įvery country should have minimum standards for prehospital care, in Iran there is no integrated trauma system, each organization has its own functions and there are limited equipped hospitals for patient transfer. Another risk in prehospital emergency care is access limitations to the patient past medical history, therefor we need to access patients electronic health record if available, and retrieve past medical history in order to manage and treat patients considering their medical condition. In the case of patients with critical conditions such as neurological or stroke conditions if the right medical team or healthcare center isn’t assigned at the right time the patient will suffer from a lot of complications.
Integrating web services and multi agent systems (MAS) Allows a promising computing environment to efficiently manage complex distributed issues provides a promising computing environment for managing complex distributed issues efficiently.ĭelivering specialized services and consultation, using specialized vehicle for patient transportation and navigating the patient to the best healthcare provider considering patient’s condition in real-time will prevent patients from irrecoverable damages. These characteristics made multi agent systems a well-known solution for management, coordination, control and modeling in different healthcare problems. Multi agent systems with capabilities like autonomy, flexibility, collaboration and negotiation provide a society of interacting agents for distributed decision making environments. Critical and dynamic circumstances like prehospital emergency calls for intelligent decision support solutions like intelligent agent systems. Rapid response time and appropriate resource utilization is also reported to have great impact on emergency patient management. Providing patients with specialized care at the right time has a great impact on patient mortality reduction and outcome improvement. Prehospital emergency is delivered through the interconnection between different distributed healthcare providers, services and applications, thus assigning the right resource to the patient considering their condition is a critical task.
