title: Mapping system gets patient to the right ED.
abstract: Utilizing a web-based system to monitor emergency services in your region can improve quality of care for patients transported to your facility by air, and it also can help minimize surge pressures if you are on divert. If you are linked to a regional system, you can advise emergency medical services on the speediest mode of transporting incoming patients. When you are on divert, the rest of the region will be alerted. Your staff will be more productive. By knowing exactly when patients will arrive, they can care for other victims when they might have been needlessly awaiting an arrival.
