After I briefly read some of the current summary report for SA3, I realized that I need to spend more time blogging strong angel and less time at my day job!
I would like to share with you what happened at SA3 regarding the success or failure of standards based data exchange among the various parties that were collecting, sharing, and displaying GIS mapped Patient data information.
First and foremost, we had complete success in the collection, conversion, and display of the data collected from the Red Cross, Medweb satellite van based clinic, Loma Linda University Hospital satellite telemedicine vehicle, and the Army Battlefield medical PDA (BMIST) from TATRC to the half dozen or so vendors of GIS mapped data display systems. This was, however, accomplished using a very dynamic conversion Clearinghouse approach and we were thankful that we brought our programmers to SA3 since in the end, none of the originally selected formats was actually accepted by the GIS vendors. The USNS Mercy was on a mission and unavailable to participate in the exercise as hoped.

ESRI – Entree Wireless Test Geo-located Handheld Data Collection
08/25/06 - Friday
Sortie Plan
2508 – Point Loma, Data Collection – 2508
Sortie Lead - Myles Sutherland, ESRI, Tom Patterson, ESRI
The Plan– Visit a variety of sites in the Point Loma area. Make local contacts and collect simulated patient data on a variety of GPS enabled handheld devices such as; PDA, Cell phone, laptops. Transmit data to a data center via the Internet using various communication channels including – 1) Cellular Data Network, 2) Wi-Fi using the EVDO/Wi-Fi Bridge.

Functioning without the network is an experience!
one thing I have already learned.....I am very network ependent with my solution. I need to address this in development.

40. GIS medical resource reporting »
Background
How do we report medical information from a non-standard place where injured or sick people are accumulating during a disaster, like a ballpark field or nursing home?
39. Situational Awareness & Visualization »
Background
Situational awareness is problematic in crisis situations, and there is a constant challenge found in collecting, analyzing, and disseminating accurate information frequently and rapidly.
38. Team Tracking »
Background
In a disaster, it is very important to know where people are located in order to deliver supplies and relief, and to plan and run rescue missions. We need to physically know where core team members are located as they move around.
