Problems solved by technology

A multiple-victim disaster or an emergency can overwhelm ill-prepared local or state officials.
In such a case, there may be other medical facilities that are equipped to accommodate the victims, but may be unutilized for a number of reasons, primarily lack of knowledge about the availability of resources at a facility.

Embodiment Construction

[0023]The present invention provides a method and system for aggregating resource availability information collected from multiple facilities in one or more regions. The present system tracks medical and non-medical resource availability information by type and provides it to users requesting the information. The system collects availability information from individual hospitals and other medical facilities. This is enabled through a web interface that connects to the facilities and queries the availability data through industry standard techniques. There is an addition web interface that allows administration personnel to connect to the system and manually input the resource availability information. Furthermore, the system can also connect to central systems, such as those maintained by states, counties, etcetera to collect availability information.

[0024]Preferably the system is setup to collect the resource availability information at pre-determined time intervals; alternatively ...

Abstract

The present invention provides a system and a method for providing information about resource availability, especially during an emergency such as a natural disaster. The system stores resource information about multiple facilities, across cities, counties, states and even countries. Such information can be provided to designated users based on specified access levels for the user and the resource information. Further, the system is able to exchange the resource availability information with external systems and databases. The resource information is also automatically updated to reflect the most current information. The system is useful in directing resources to participate in an emergency. Further the system aggregates resource information based on one or more attributes, such as region, hospital, city, state, etcetera, that is associated with the resource information.
