Solved Health's mobile platform will enable EMS personnel to test, evaluate, maintain and even improve their response readiness to medical calls through scenario based modules and evaluation. At the touch of their fingers providers can choose topics based on known areas of weakness, or they can simply go through random scenarios to test & evaluate their knowledge and understanding of medical conditions within their scope of practice. In addition, this platform has a utility aspect that enables the personnel to upload copies of their license, specialty certifications and other critical items in order to have easy access and obtain reminders of any expiration. This will help prevent either the employee or the agency from violating state rules and regulations and potentially save both parties the burden of paying civil penalty. In summary, EMTeam helps keep responders ready for the next call and can improve patient outcomes, quality, assurance, and compliance.
