GER Brings Patient Tracking Technology To CDP(PR Web Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Augusta, GA (PRWEB) October 15, 2014 Global Emergency Resources' flagship application, HC ®, is a flexible and intuitive solution designed to help first responders track patients and their medical conditions during all types of events. The HC® software suite includes HC Patient Tracking™ & was recently introduced into the Center for Domestic Preparedness exercise program allowing students attending the CDP healthcare training to electronically track patients during exercises. The CDP said that students attending healthcare training at the Center for Domestic Preparedness (CDP) now have automated capabilities to track patients during mass casualty exercises. According to the CDP they anticipate full incorporation of the patient tracking technology into the majority of their healthcare courses within the next six months. Patient tracking is used in healthcare facilities throughout the United States and is a key component to incident response and management. GER's HC® allows command centers to better manage healthcare resources, particularly in the case of a large-scale emergency situation or mass casualty. With just a Web connection, officials in the command center can immediately view a map-based image that shows them the exact location of medics and patients as well as whether a patient has been tagged with a yellow, red or green triage tag -- which indicates the criticality of the patient's condition.
