The project offers the opportunity to improve patient care in the pre-hospital setting. It is much more than an electronic report form: it can guide the acute care provider to better manage the incident and the patient. There is enthusiastic national and international interest in the project. An educational evaluation of UECS by the military has shown that it improves sequencing of treatment by 32% and pathology detection by 25%. 90% of all claims across the NHS are due to communications breakdown; the record of pre-hospital treatment which e-medICS makes is designed to eliminate this at the ambulance / A & E department handover. It is believed that there is the potential for massive use of e-medICS for remote care in the military environment.
