A system for aggregating and disseminating in-case-of-emergency (ICE) medical information to medical units. The system includes an ICE medical record server that stores medical records of respective subscribers, and automatically receive updates from health service entities visited by subscribers. When contacted by emergency dispatchers or first responders, the server sends subscribers medical information to first responders, emergency management agencies directly, via a dispatcher, or via a computer aided dispatch (CAD) system. The medical information may be arranged, emphasized, and / or filtered in a manner relevant to the on-going emergency. A communication device may wirelessly receive the medical information and pre-populate a pre-hospital care form with the information, which may be further orally annotated by the first responder.

The medical server may further assist a public health agency to disseminate emergency information to selected subscribers, responders, and public health alerting systems. An ICE personal server for storing important personal documents is also disclosed. A PCR server is also disclosed that can disseminate aggregate PCR information in near real-time to an emergency management agency (EMA) system for developing incident response plans during a wide area emergency.

An automated method, as well as computer-implemented systems, apparatus and software products, to predict patient demand in a medical facility. A database contains historical data of patient demand during one or more past time periods. At least two distinguishing characteristics are associated (202) with a specified time period of interest, the first characterising a day within which the time period occurs, and the second characterising a timeframe within which the day occurs. Corresponding historical data is extracted (204) having equivalent distinguishing characteristics. A computational predictive model is applied (206) to the extracted data, to generate a prediction of patient demand. The predicted demand is output (208), for example to a suitable visual display. The invention may be applied, for example, to improve the efficiency of operations in medical facility emergency departments.
