Study on the communication system for Korean emergency medical dispatch

The emergency cases are increasing in proportion to the growing complexity of our society, and the emergency diseases and hazards present other problems in health and welfare. We are required to develop our emergency care system which remains behind the foreign countries both in quality and quantity. Since the most crucial part of the emergency system is the communication system, our own communication system of Korean Emergency Medical Dispatch Priority Reference System (K-EMDPRS) has been developed. It consists of four protocols focusing on the easy use for the emergency communication. And it is expected that this K-EMDPRS contribute to the development of our emergency care system.
