“…It was also determined in Kidak et al's study (2009) that emergency calls were mostly made in the evening and the number of calls decreased after midnight. Similar findings were obtained in several publications in the literature (Ali et al, 2006;Dundar et al, 2006). In our study, emergency calls were more frequent between the hours of 18:00 and 22:00.…”

Article HistoryReceived 01 / 04 / 2014 Accepted 11 / 06 / 2014The coordination between pre-hospital emergency health service and emergency department is one of the major indicators of the quality of emergency services. This coordination heavily depends on the appropriate patient referrals made by 112 command and control centers. The aim of this study is to examine the collaboration and coordination between emergency departments and 112 Command and Control Center in such regions where there are more than one hospital. Computer-based medical records of the patients who were transported to Isparta State Hospital Emergency Medicine Clinic via 112 emergency call and rescue ambulances were retrospectively analyzed in this descriptive study. The number of patients transported to emergency department via 112 emergency ambulance service accounts for 5.73% of all patients (59616) referred to our emergency department in the same period. Among the consultations requested, while neurology department ranked first with a total of 316 consultations (20.4%), consultation with department of ophthalmology was only 4 (0.2%). In order to achieve a good coordination between hospitals and 112 Command and Control Center, the same form should be used in the period from hospital admission to the end of the treatment.

“…10 In addition, another study from Pakistan published in 2006 mentioned a lack of life-saving equipment, including oxygen cylinders in ambulances. 15 Contrary to expectations based on such earlier surveys, this study suggests that many of the ambulance services in Karachi do have basic equipment required for AM of patients during transfer to hospitals. It is possible to state that the availability of AM equipment has improved since earlier studies were conducted.…”

“…In Pakistan, LE and physicians collaborated to create and implement a LE-led Emergency Medical Systems (EMS) programme called Rescue 15 46. A different Pakistani programme, in the city of Karachi, established a partnership between hospitals, LE agencies, industry and media and developed a road traffic injury surveillance system and safety-focused road design 39.…”

Health system and law enforcement synergies for injury surveillance, control and prevention: a scoping review

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background Healthcare providers and law enforcement (LE) officers are among the most common first responders to injuring events. Despite frequent interface between the health system (HS) and LE sectors, the published evidence that supports their collaboration in injury surveillance, control and prevention has not been comprehensively reviewed. Methods We conducted a scoping review of literature published from 1990 to 2016 that focused on local and regional HS and LE collaborations in injury surveillance, control and prevention. Our aim was to describe what is known and what remains unexplored about these cross-sector efforts. Results 128 articles were included in the final review. These were categorised by their focus on either surveillance activities or partnerships in injury control and prevention programmes. The majority of surveillance articles focused on road traffic injuries. Conversely, articles describing partnerships and programme evaluations primarily targeted the prevention of interpersonal violence. Discussion This review yielded two major findings: overall, the combination of HS and LE injury data added value to surveillance systems, especially as HS data augmented LE data; and HS and LE partnerships have been developed to improve injury control and prevention. However, there are few studies that have evaluated the impact and sustainability of these partnerships. Conclusions The current evidence to support HS and LE collaboration in injury surveillance and control and prevention programmes is heterogeneous. Notable gaps suggest ample opportunity for further research and programme evaluation across all types of injury.
