EMS Field Partner vs Pedi STAT EMS

The Allegheny Health Network (AHN), EMS Field Partner application is intended primarily for use in the geographic area encompassing western Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio, northern West Virginia and western New York, but also may be utilized by those throughout the country as a reference tool. Designed for all Public Safety Personnel, this Application was conceptualized by the EMS professionals of the Allegheny Health Network, Prehospital Care Services of Pittsburgh, PA and developed by Ritter Mobile Technology of Germany. The AHN EMS Field Partner enables the provider to not only quickly reference referral information for medical and traumatic emergencies, but also provides the ability to link directly with Medical Command at the receiving hospital. The GPS function provides accurate coordinates to LifeFlight dispatch to speed the dispatch of helicopters when needed. Other functions within the EMS Field Partner are: • Identifiers for Hospital Specialty Treatment • Directions from the scene of the emergency to the appropriate AHN or partner hospital • Staff references and facility contact information • Education Reference and Online Registration • AHN EMS Pocket Reference • Pennsylvania’s ALS, AEMT, BLS & Critical Care Transport Protocols Although all Public Safety Providers may utilize the EMS App, registration is required for full activation and functionality. Registration is free and will take less than 5 minutes.

Pedi STAT EMS was developed specifically for prehospital providers. We’ve taken all the content from our original Pedi STAT application and carefully selected components that are unique to providers in EMS. We’ve solicited feedback from leaders in out of hospital care, including paramedics, EMTs, air medical flight crews, and medical directors. We’ve condensed the content to be applicable to those providing care outside the hospital, including first responders, firefighters, EMTs, Paramedics, and Critical Care Transport providers. Medication dosing and pediatric equipment sizes are easily and rapidly accessed, and accurately calculated based on provider input of either weight, length, age, or Broselow / Pediatape weight estimates. We are attempting to eliminate medical errors by calculating not only the correct pediatric medication dose, but also the volume to be administered for patient specific conditions. We have also included algorithms and medical calculators to assist providers in multiple areas, including managing pediatric cardiac arrest, burn size estimation and fluid resuscitation, and Glasgow Coma Scale. Caring for pediatric patients is associated with a large number of challenges, the most important being selecting the correct equipment and medications, and then dosing the medications correctly. Our goal is to eliminate these challenges as much as possible, and allow the provider to concentrate on what is most important, the patient.
