The Colorado Springs Fire Department is tracking medical emergencies with barcodes

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — The Colorado Springs Fire Department is now using barcodes to improve treatment during emergency medical calls.“Everything that we do is for the patient to make things better for the patient, faster, transport faster care,” Medical Lieutenant Brian Ebmeyer said.“We put them on every patient,” Ebmeyer said. “So we're in that muscle memory kind of mode.""We didn't have it. It wasn't up and running.

The app is a real-time link between paramedics on a scene, ambulance crews and the doctors and nurses on duty in emergency rooms.“They're up to speed with everything that's been done to that patient, their vital signs, name, date of birth. So you don't have to repeat that process over and over,” Ebmeyer said.

“Everybody in our system stays informed on where that patient is, what hospital they went to, where they are in their treatment process," Ebmeyer said.
