The Future of
Emergency
Medicine: 6
Technologies
That Make
Patients the
Point-of-Care
Car crashes, home injuries,
fires, natural disasters: every
minute – if not every second –
spent without treatment in
such cases of medical
emergencies and high-risk
patients could reduce the
chance of survival or proper
recovery. In fact, when
deprived of oxygen, permanent
brain damage begins after only
4 minutes, while death can
occur as soon as 4-6 minutes
later. In this race against time,
digital health technologies that
turn patients into the point-of-
care could prove to be game-
changers for first responders
and emergency units.
From driverless cars through
medical drones to artificial
intelligence (A.I.), advanced
technologies are enhancing the
field of emergency medicine.
It’s
helpful to have a better
look at how those technologies
are influencing emergency care
and what lies ahead.
We talked with Dr. Gabor
Csató, CEO of the National
Ambulance Service in Hungary
(abbreviated as OMSZ in
Hungarian), about innovation
in the field, given that their
own system’s operation is
unique. The OMSZ is a
centralized, standalone
national healthcare
institution

HealthCare
Tallahassee’s local health organizations primarily, Urgent Care
and the Emergency Room systems are key components that make-up
Tallahassee’s infrastructure and are here to maintain health and
enhance the quality of life of its citizens. The impact they have in our
medical organizations here in Tallahassee is pivotal to everyone’s
wellbeing. Though their impact is already prevalent it could be better
if it was advertised better.

that has been active for 133
years. It is also the biggest
ambulance service in the
country and has had a strong
inclination towards innovation.
“Innovation is embedded in
the DNA of the organization,”
the CEO of OMSZ told us.
We have also collected in this
article those trends and
innovations that are putting
the future of emergency
medicine on the fast lane.
Before seeing how this lane
looks like, let’s take a quick
glance in the rearview mirror
to better appreciate the
evolution of the field.

Urgent Care
Emergency Room
Urgent Care is the provision of immediate medical services offering
outpatient care for the treatment of acute and chronic illnesses and
injuries
(“What Is Urgent Care Medicine?”).
Furthermore, Urgent
Care is an integral part as it offers an alternative to a primary care
physician, and
The Emergency room or the ER is a department in a
hospital or medical center that is open 24/7 and unlike doctor offices,
you don’t need an appointment to visit.
