TriTech’s Innovation Demonstration at Navigator 2015

TriTech is at the Forefront of Community Paramedicine by Bringing Nurse Triage into the 9-1-1 Center with the Integration of Inform CAD with Priority Dispatch’s LowCode

SAN DIEGO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / April 27, 2015 / TriTech Software Systems, a leading provider of public safety software, is one of the first public safety software providers to integrate their CAD software with Priority Dispatch’s LowCode software, which will be demonstrated at this year’s Navigator Conference in Las Vegas, April 29 – May 1, 2015. TriTech serves some of the largest and most advanced agencies in North America, many of which triage calls for Emergency Medical Services (EMS) in addition to taking Law and Fire calls. The EMS industry is going through major changes that affect both call takers and responders. TriTech’s integration with Priority Dispatch’s LowCode increases the efficiency of available resources and ensures the most effective response to an emergency.

LowCode provides an automated clinical content product. It includes a series of symptom-specific, gender-specific, and age-specific trinary logic protocols, which are used by Emergency Communication Nurses (ECNs) in non-emergency situations. The ECNs use this information to interpret the symptoms of callers and direct them to an appropriate Recommended Care Level. Each protocol features a logically-structured questioning sequence, from high acuity to low acuity, thus ensuring that critical symptoms are identified early on in the process. Should any serious pathology be deemed possible, the appropriate protocol endpoints are transferred to LowCode’s embedded ProQA system, along with information obtained during the call, and the appropriate ProQA dispatch code is triggered in TriTech’s CAD solution.

Key Facts:

– TriTech became Platinum certified on Priority Dispatch’s ProQA Paramount version in 2013.

– Regional Emergency Medical Services Authority (REMSA) based in Reno, NV, is now live on TriTech’s latest Inform CAD release and is using the LowCode integration in production with many other customers preparing to do the same.

– TriTech will be demonstrating both Paramount and LowCode at booth 301/400 at Navigator.

– LowCode’s functionality is based on symptoms, history, and evidence. It is built upon five principles:

–   Most calls transferred to the system are benign and self-limited
–   Focus on caller information and patient education
–   Continued education for nurses built throughout the system
–   Protocols support Standard of Care and Good Clinical Practice
–   LowCode is customizable with Recommended Care Levels and Points of Care

– TriTech is proud to be a Platinum sponsor at the 2015 Navigator Conference to show their support for all of the great work Priority Dispatch has done to provide call takers and responders with consistent and effective response plans.

– TriTech looks forward to engaging with their newest family members, their Tiburon customers, as they launch into the 2015 trade show season at Navigator.
