Nearly 5 million deaths per year are recorded due to injury alone. These deaths may be preventable with timeliness, which can be achieved through effective pre-hospital care. Ideally, information is provided by emergency medical personnel about a patient prior to arrival to the hospital. Prehospital notification allows team members to be alerted so that a team meeting can be held, and preparation can be tailored to specific information provided about a patient. Giving the team ample time to discuss would lead to better decision-making and improved patient outcomes. Having a system-wide telecommunication can also improve access to healthcare by informing initial responders the nearest institution with the available resources needed by the patient. The public can also contribute to this endeavor by being informed of when and how to call help so as to increase the timeliness of the response.
