This week I bring you another excellent mobile app for you for code management during cardiac arrest. In this case it's from the experts at the American Heart Association. They've taken all of the things they've been recommending about code management and ACLS guidelines, gathered them together and put them in a very useful app that may change the way you manage your cardiac arrest patients. CPR Timer and Code Management Tool (http://www.mediccast.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Full_code_pro_screenshot-201x300.png)It's basically a specialized stopwatch with tracking of all of the events of a cardiac arrest resuscitation attempt. You start the timer when you arrive and begin CPR. Hit the Shock button when you defibrillate, the Epi button when you give epinephrine, and so on. There are other entry options for return of spontaneous circulation, rhythm checks, medications other than epinephrine and for charting other events. After you complete the code, the timer can be synced to the clock on your heart monitor, asks for the team leader name and recorder's name. Then you can email the Code log to yourself or others. During the code, at any time you stop CPR for more then ten seconds, it will alert you with a color change in the timer next to the Resume CPR button. Pros Outweigh Cons for App The only things I'd like to see change is an option to have a Compression Metronome tick at 100 beats per minute, an audible alarm when CPR is stopped for longer than 10 seconds and an Android version of the app for those smartphone and tablet devices. Other than those items, this is the perfect tool for the recorder or team leader on the scene at a cardiac arrest and the best part is it's available free on the app store for iPhone and iPad now (http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=F8fXfrcbE/o&offerid=146261&type=3&subid=0&tmpid=1826&RD_PARM1=https%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fus%252Fapp%252Ffull-code-pro%252Fid589451064%253Fmt%253D8%2526uo%253D4%2526partnerId%253D30). I think this essential tool should be loaded on all smart phones right away for use when the need arises. —- Subscribe to the MedicCast TV Short Segments: (http://d8nza2yu92e2a.cloudfront.net/mediccast_images/SubscribeItunes.png)iTunes (http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=F8fXfrcbE/o&offerid=146261&type=3&subid=0&tmpid=1826&RD_PARM1=https%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fus%252Fpodcast%252Fmediccast-tv-short-segments%252Fid377034277%253Fmt%253D2%2526uo%253D4%2526partnerId%253D30) | (http://i1.wp.com/d8nza2yu92e2a.cloudfront.net/mediccast_images/SubscribeZune.png)Zune (zune://subscribe/?MedicCast%20TV%20Commentary=http://www.mediccast.com/blog/feed/weekly-tv-commentary/) | (http://i0.wp.com/d8nza2yu92e2a.cloudfront.net/mediccast_images/SubscribeRSS.png)Podcast (http://mediccast.com/blog/feed/weekly-tv-commentary/) —- (http://www.mediccast.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/460x68-ad.jpg) This MedicCast Sponsored by EMS Manager Scheduling Software Solution by Aladtec * Sign up for a free trial at EMSManager.net (http://emsmanager.net/) Jamie Davis, the Podmedic, RN, NREMT-P, B.A., A.A.S clean 3:07 http://www.mediccast.com/blog/2013/05/11/mississippi-ems-systems-potential-scheduling-windfall-video/ http://www.mediccast.com/blog/2013/05/11/mississippi-ems-systems-potential-scheduling-windfall-video/#comments Sat, 11 May 2013 15:33:20 +0000 podmedic http://www.mediccast.com/blog/?p=7734 http://www.mediccast.com/blog/2013/05/11/mississippi-ems-systems-potential-scheduling-windfall-video/feed/ 0 aladtec,career,ems manager,scheduling,staffing Our sponsor Aladtec and EMSManager.net got ahold of me and told me something surprising.

They have numerous customers using their unique, web-based EMS scheduling and management service - Except in the State of Mississippi! What's up with that? 1/2 Off First Year! They told me that I have an opportunity to get in on a special offer for 50% off the cost of the system for the first year. This goes to the first EMS system that signs up from the State of Mississippi. I can't believe there are no current subscribers there but that means there's a tremendous opportunity for you or your managers to get the absolute best scheduling tool that will save them hours of work each and every week with their intuitive EMS scheduling and management app. You can access it from anywhere on the web via a secure interface including from your favorite mobile devices. Don't take my word for it. Check out the free demo you can try out at EMSManager.net (http://emsmanager.net). You won't be sorry you took the time to do it. Don't forget to tell them you heard about it here on MedicCast TV. I look forward to hearing that one of my audience members cashed in on this special offer for a Mississippi EMS system to get 1/2 off the first year using EMS Manager for their scheduling needs.

This signifies a fundamental shift in how healthcare is provided on MedSTAR ambulances. At a time when many systems are trying to reinvent themselves and fit into the new reformed system of healthcare in the United States, MedSTAR is paving the way with their move to become a true mobile health care system and not just a transport service. MedicCast host Jamie Davis, the Podmedic is joined by Matt Zavadsky, Director of Public Affairs at MedSTAR Mobile Healthcare to talk about how other systems can make the improvements and innovations that MedSTAR has.

In the background in this video segment from the exhibit hall is just one of the large modular tent support structures that can house medical and other response facilities on location following a disaster. Rick points out that these structures make it possible to provide a more normal standard of care for individuals following a disaster. This is a better level of care than has been expected by public health officials in the past where they are only expecting to be able to provide a "sufficiency of care."

Preparedness is Universal Rick points out that preparedness issues for public health professionals are somewhat universal. No matter what disaster you are preparing for, the challenges of providing for the population in its aftermath are the same.

Good day and welcome to this episode of the MedicCast TV weekly commentary at MedicCast.tv. I’m your host, Jamie Davis, the Podmedic and this week I have another new episode for you. EMS 2020 Campaign This week I'd like to talk about an initiative that EMSWorld.com is promoting called EMS 2020. According to their introduction of this program they'll be unfolding over the coming months, EMS 2020 with be "a multimedia guidebook to what EMS will look like in the near future and how we can ensure the safety and well-being of our stakeholders as we get there." Ok, I'm in! The fact of the matter is that we need to have more industry wide planning and, honestly, soul searching, in order to better provide care for our patients during the changes to health care and our industry over the coming years. You might think that this is a long way off but 2020 will be here before you know it. It's only seven years away and that time will fly by. Patient and EMS Safety to the Forefront How many EMS providers will die needlessly because we don't continue to push for better safety procedures and practices? How many of our patients will be injured or die because we don't stand up and advocate for better public health programs to teach bystander CPR to a wider community? So I say "Kudos" to the editorial staff at EMSWorld.com as they unfold the various segments of this program on their site. You can check out the first two months of articles and special podcasts at EMSWorld.com/2020 (http://EMSWorld.com/2020) or follow the links in the show notes for this episode.

Good day and welcome to this episode of the MedicCast TV weekly commentary. I’m your host, Jamie Davis, the Podmedic and this week I have another special app review episode for you. AED and CPR Apps for iOS (http://www.mediccast.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/EMT-paramedic-pediatric-ventilation-sm-300x208.jpg)As a CPR instructor, I'm always looking for tools to use in my classes for both the community and for healthcare professionals. This week I want to show you an iPad app that provides you a CPR AED Trainer that has many features instructors like me love to see. The AED Trainer from Ivor Medical is not just an AED training app, it is part of a complete instructional system. But more on that later. When you start up the app, you see an AED closed and ready to deploy. Touch the screen and the AED lid opens revealing the pads and AED controls. Students push the on button and the AED begins to speak the instructions to the user just like a real AED beginning with orders to call for help and then to attach pads to the patient's chest. Very Realistic Training Experience Now here comes the cool part. You touch the pads inside the lid and a screen pops in that allows you to drag the pads to a "virtual patient" and place them appropriately. Once they are properly placed, the AED instructs the student to "not touch the patient" while it analyzes heart rhythm. The trainer is up to date with the 2010 guidelines and is completely programable via the settings button in the upper lefthand corner of the screen. Instructors can program the app to run scenarios where the rhythm is shockable or not shockable through up to 8 cycles of CPR. They can also let the trainer select a random series of shocks or no shocks. The Info button in the upper right corner provides full instructions and also a series of videos for on AED use and CPR. Companion iPhone AED Remote Control App (http://www.mediccast.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/ManikinAEDtrainer-e1360111258645-300x211.png)I said earlier that this program is part of an instructional system. What I meant by that is while you can use the AED Trainer as a stand-alone app, there is also a companion iPhone app that allows an instructor to control the AED Trainer remotely from their phone. This gives the instructor that much more control over the educational experience, allowing customization of a scenario on the fly. Overall this app and it's companion iPhone remote app are the total solution for AED education in CPR classes, recertification and ongoing drills and training. The AED Trainer by Ivor Medical (http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=F8fXfrcbE/o&offerid=146261&type=3&subid=0&tmpid=1826&RD_PARM1=https%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fus%252Fapp%252Faed-trainer%252Fid502388483%253Fmt%253D8%2526uo%253D4%2526partnerId%253D30) is currently priced at $4.99. The companion iPhone AED Remote app is priced at $2.99. I’m Jamie Davis, the Podmedic. That’s the app review for this month.

Anne found the ELSA from RTT Mobile Interpretation. It's a hand held device that can also be worn on a lanyard around the neck and it connect via cellular connection to a live language interpreter who speaks directly with your patient. Your questions and instructions are interpreted and the patient's responses are interpreted back. Says the RTT Mobile website (http://www.rttmobile.com/index.html): The limited english proficient (LEP) population and the need for urgent interpretation in diverse environments continue to increase.  While the opportunities for RTT to serve are many, we are delivering world class interpretation expertise to law enforcement, healthcare, financial services and government agencies.

This episode kicks off that list with Chris Montera's product pick. Chris is the host of the EMS Garage podcast (http://EMSGarage.com). Chris picked the GEN-X-3 disinfectant, cleaner and purifier spray by Nature Tech Solutions (http://GEN-X-3.com). The GEN-X-3TMsystem consists of a compact docking station and hand-held applicator that together create a powerful, chemical-free sanitizing/disinfecting solution that is 80-200 times more powerful than chlorine, yet safe enough to drink. Using the convenient and economical GEN-X-3TM system, consumers can now kill infection-causing bacteria, viruses, fungi and spores without the expense and health hazards associated with chemically based cleaning products.

Steve said that his system went from 20 man hours managing the schedule to just four hours per scheduling period. That's a significant savings in time for a supervisor to use doing other things.

Good day and welcome to this episode of the MedicCast TV weekly commentary. I’m your host, Jamie Davis, the Podmedic and this week I have another special app review episode for you. (http://www.mediccast.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/app-store-icon-300x300.jpg)Most of you know your favorite EMS podcasters from the ProMed Network will be attending EMS World Expo later this month and recording live shows from our Podcast Studio. Hopefully we'll see many of you there. I've talked in the past about the things you should have with you at the conference, business cards, a camera, a pen are all important tools to have with you. But now, EMS World Expo added another indispensable item to the list. The EMS World Expo App! Specialized Conference App EMS World developed it just for the conference.  It offers many time management, navigation and calendar organization features as well as a full schedule of events, speakers and vendors. It's become my most important tool for the upcoming expo. When you open the app, it updates with the latest event information. It then leads you to a very simple display that has icons for everything you might need. You can create a calendar of saved events, conference sessions and even add appointments of your own so you have the whole conference schedule in one place. When you are looking at the event or speaker listing, clicking on an event adds it to your calendar automatically. I have all my podcast recording times added so I can schedule meetings and still get the MedicCast recorded each day. Streamline Your Conference Experience Under Exhibitors is a listing of all the exhibitors and their location. There's also a floor map of the conference hall which shows vendors you've starred or marked so you can get to them. Can't figure out where you are on the map? There's a locate me function where you type in a few letters of a booth near you and the map zooms to show you where you are in the exhibit hall. The map also allows you to select vendors based on category and then all the vendors in that category are highlighted on the map. That's really handy! There's a lot more to this app including speaker listings, event schedule and even a map of local attractions. One of the best parts of the app from my standpoint is the twitter stream. You can follow the twitter stream live from the app and check out what's hot and what's not while you're on the go all week long. The EMS World Expo 2012 app is Free and I would say it's a must have for the conference at the end of this month. It will change the way you approach the show.
