Filed:

Aug 27, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/649127

Inventors:

Edward Barthell - Mequon WI, US

Assignee:

Infinity Healthcare

International Classification:

G06F017/60

US Classification:

705/002000

Abstract:

A method and apparatus of detecting a bio-emergency, including receiving patient health information at a plurality of health care facilities. The patient health information, preferably triage data, is transmitted simultaneously with the receiving step to a bio-surveillance network for pooling and further analysis. In particular, the patient health information is then compiled to create, for example, volumetric health data. The information preferably is transmitted over a multi-level network including a number of local health care facilities such as hospital emergency rooms, a number of regional repositories such as regional health departments, and a centralized recipient such as the CDC. The local health care facilities communicate vertically with the regional repositories that, in turn, communicate vertically with the centralized recipient and possibly horizontally with other regional repositories. The centralized recipient can then transmit related information such as a health warning to the other members of the network and/or to other authorities.

Abstract:

The present invention provides a system and a method for providing information about resource availability, especially during an emergency such as a natural disaster. The system stores resource information about multiple facilities, across cities, counties, states and even countries. Such information can be provided to designated users based on specified access levels for the user and the resource information. Further, the system is able to exchange the resource availability information with external systems and databases. The resource information is also automatically updated to reflect the most current information. The system is useful in directing resources to participate in an emergency. Further the system aggregates resource information based on one or more attributes, such as region, hospital, city, state, etcetera, that is associated with the resource information.
