Decision Making Model Supporting Emergency Medical Care

Accuracy in a pre-hospital trauma triage plays a critical role in reducing trauma mortality in a way that appropriately chooses a patient with severe injuries. Although various triage criteria have been devised and tested, there is no computer-based system developed that helps ambulance teams can make a decision in an appropriate manner. This research proposes to develop Expert Helper, an expert system which provides a user-friendly environment for the paramedics to decide whether patient to be posted to Critical Care Medical Centers (CCMC).
