findERnow vs Region 11 BLS Protocols

findERnow app is the fastest, most reliable emergency room (ER) finder on the app market today. The findERnow app will locate the closest ER with just one click by using the most comprehensive national database available. findERnow uses the iPhone’s GPS to quickly locate ERs anywhere in the U.S. You can select the closest ER or another nearby ER in a map or list format and can locate the closest ERs by driving time or by distance. Once you select an ER, you have 1-click access to directions to the ER and additional information about annual ER visit volume and whether the hospital has a verified adult trauma, adult burn, or stroke center. Using the “EMS View” feature, you can also see whether an adult trauma or stroke center has advanced or basic capabilities. The “EMS View” feature is designed for Emergency Medical Services personnel, but it may be viewed by anyone interested in learning more about these capabilities. You also have the ability to search online for more information about the ER. We have added a new feature that includes information about which ERs are Recognized Geriatric ERs. These ERs are more likely to be prepared to provide emergency care for geriatric patients. You can also quickly see if ERs are more likely to be prepared to provide emergency care for children, as these ERs are marked with a dark blue baby icon. You can also quickly access information about the % of annual visits from children, if the hospital has a verified pediatric trauma or pediatric burn center, if the ER has a separate pediatric area, and if the ER has pediatric emergency care coordinators. findERnow is ideal for travelers, especially those suffering with chronic medical conditions, or those traveling with friends or relatives with health problems. Whether you are traveling or close to home, find the nearest ER quickly with findERnow! Terms of Use: http://emnet-usa.org/policies/app_terms_of_use.htm
