Field Bridge

Supporting Emergency Responsiveness

The ImageTrend Field Bridge is a pre-hospital patient care data collection and reporting application that is NEMSIS Gold compliant. Designed for speed and accuracy, the EMS Field Bridge, with over 1,500 units in the field, assists medics in quickly generating complete, real-time electronic patient care reports in a mobile environment.

Pop-up “power tools,” integrations to EKG devices and configurable run form layouts allow data to be entered with ease and as best fits with the needs of the service and each individual user. Data gathered can be submitted electronically to a Service Bridge or State Bridge system in order to compile the data for a service or state.

From rapid, pen-based or touch screen data entry to streamlined one-click billing and electronic submission, the ImageTrend Field Bridge integrates critical information across the entire emergency community. Ambulance services are able to collect data electronically in the field as it happens without a major investment and without learning complex new technology.

 

"The few people that I've had a chance to show FB 4 to are amazed - me included. It was obviously a lot of effort, but well worth it. Thank you!"
