Abstract

The introduction of standard operating procedures (SOPs) in emergency medical services (EMS) provides an opportunity to increase treatment quality and efficiency of rescue operations. This paper presents the concept of SOPs for an application of telemedical care in EMS. We developed SOPs for all main processes and devices used in TemRas (Telemedical Rescue Assistance System) and especially for single disease patterns which will support tele-EMS physicians providing a guideline-oriented patient care during a one year trial.
