Franciscan Health Emergency Department Indianapolis has recently implemented a new system called Twiage, a service that allows EMTS and paramedics to collect and send data to hospitals through a smartphone. The department is one of two Indiana healthcare systems to use the app.
"The prehospital patient care environment can be stressful and noisy, which makes it a challenge to relay accurate information to the hospital before the patient arrives; the hospital needs to know we are coming, but we also have a patient who needs our attention," Jon Kavanagh, paramedic and EMS liaison for Franciscan Health Indianapolis, said in a hospital article about the announcement. "Twiage propels emergency communications into the 21st century."
