title: Emergency medical information system for transferring patients to the medical institute by triage-result.
abstract: The Objective of this study was to triage the emergency patients in a pre-hospital stage and transfer them to the appropriate medical institute by the triaged result. For this, considering the pre-hospital emergence situation, we selected the Manchester system as the triage. So we analyzed the components of the ambulance records in Korea, transformed MTS components according to analysis-results of the ambulances and applied them to the information system in using a C# web application. Then we made the emergency medical institute database with the distances of any selected places and institute-grade in the emergency medical system and connected the triage-result with the medical institute database. Through this study, the medical institute can be selected based on patient condition. In addition we also can expect the emergency medical institutes to be effectively managed.
