title: E-linkage at last: EMS crews linked to hospitals & discharge diagnosis.
abstract: This project is clearly on the cutting-edge of innovations for healthcare information systems technology within time-critical environments and its deployment. The potential for improving EMS is significant. We also believe it will change the way prehospital and hospital staff view their involvement and responsibilities with each other and the involved patients.
