One of the product lines of PatientCentral Technologies, LLC is DisasterLink. We are telling you about this because MyHealthArchive is designed to communicate with DisasterLink for first responders and hospitals to enhance your safety and quality of care when you are in an emergency or in a disaster.

DisasterLink™ Is Essential For Both Disasters and Day to Day Emergencies

DisasterLink™ for hospitals and healthcare systems improves communication and synchronization of individual patient information during the early stages of triage, treatment, and transport, hospitalization and inter-hospital transfer of disaster victims. Fragmented communication is eliminated between the EMS/first-responders and receiving hospitals.

These technologies improve individual patient care and also technology provides an electronic means for processing multiple casualties during large-scale disasters so that evaluation, transportation, treatment and information processing occurs in a coordinated and synchronized manner. MyHealthArchive optimizes the technology of DisasterLink to improve timely access to your stored health Archive.

For First Responders

The system optimizes the effectiveness of communication, efficiency of documentation, coordination and synchronization of triage, early treatment, communication with hospitals and transport to hospitals, and facilitates real time information collection.

ImageBecause the data collected can be stored, as each patient is processed through triage, treatment and through transport, the accumulated data about each patient becomes an invaluable resource to reduce the potential for human error, eliminate redundancies, and connect both families and external agencies with loved ones.

For Hospitals

The DisasterLink system provides a patient interface tool which manages information collection and distribution about individual disaster victims, including identity and authentication of identity, demographics, payor status, acuity level and health status, family information and disposition. MyHealthArchive interfaces with MedManager in the hospital to optimize medication reconciliation and safe medication practices. MyHealthArchive promotes connecting the patient to the medical care in the hospital as well as reuniting the patients with families after emergencies or disasters. DisasterLink allows disaster victim information gathered by local-level and state-level emergency medical systems to be seamlessly integrated into the existing hospital information technology (IT) systems.

DisasterLink is designed to be flexible enough to interface with many other types of tagging systems. The result: safer emergency health care within and between communities.  DisasterLink is designed to eliminate fragmentation between the EMS/first-responders, hospitals, trauma centers and public health, which have traditionally worked in silos. DisasterLink is designed to keep pace with managing large-scale disasters where multiple casualties must be evaluated, transported, and treated, and information processed to ensure proper coordination, communication, and synchronization of local, regional and national level disaster management efforts. During large scale disasters, valuable up-to-date information about casualties, the status of these casualties, as well as the capacity of the healthcare community to manage logistics by responding to and managing additional casualties is organized and managed via secure Internet access. The result is real-time recognition of the status of casualties, ability to plan for coordination of additional medical care, supplies and commodities, as well as ability to reunite disaster victims with their families.
