Telemedicine in EMS

Telemedicine in Emergency Medical Services (EMS) allows paramedics and emergency personnel to connect with doctors and specialists remotely, using technology like video calls and digital data sharing. This enables real-time consultation, improved assessment, and informed decision-making during emergencies, often before reaching the hospital. It enhances patient care by providing expert guidance quickly, especially in complex cases or remote locations, ensuring timely and appropriate treatment. Essentially, telemedicine acts as a bridge, bringing specialized medical expertise directly to the ambulance or emergency scene, improving outcomes and streamlining the rescue process.
