The Importance of Cloud-Based Solutions in EMS

So you haven’t made the jump to a cloud-based operations platform yet? Take this as your sign to take the leap!

In today’s digital world, cloud-based platforms and softwares have taken over the need for on-site servers and in-house IT technologies. These cloud-based systems are being rapidly implemented all over the work field to allow companies to run more efficiently and to give their employees the capability to access their data from anywhere in the world (and especially on the road in ambulatory care). Here are two other main factors as to why cloud-based systems are the way to go…

Protect your company from brinks of disaster that come with outdated softwares

With outdated platforms, you’re always on the brink of disaster. Your data becomes vulnerable to hackers and destruction from improper maintenance or upkeep, yet a shift to a digital cloud system generally seems scary because of the issue of data security. In our digital age, data security is always a topic of discussion, and especially in the emergency medical field, where HIPAA compliance, and the protection of personally identifiable information (PII) acts as a framework – we know this is of the utmost importance.

The truth is, there is no safer location for your information than within a cloud-based software platform. Outdated platforms are not only more vulnerable to hackers (in turn, making them less secure) but they also require consistent maintenance and manual updates in order to stay functional. With cloud-based systems you are supplied with 24/7 IT support that has expertise in cybersecurity to protect against cyber attacks – ensuring your systems and your data is secure.

With cloud-based software platforms, you lower your maintenance costs, avoid the need for constant upkeep and updates, and lower your chances of facing disaster.

Focus on the things that matter the most

With a cloud-based system you are able to focus on the things that truly matter in EMS, allowing you and your company to run more efficiently, and improve the care given to your patients.

Using a cloud-based platform in EMS will allow you to focus less on:

  • Operations. Communication, staff monitoring, learning, inventory and data collection become easily accessible from anywhere in the world from one central location.

  • Fleet management. Vehicle profiles and locations can be tracked from anywhere and can integrate information from ePCRs and computer-aided dispatch calls to create optimal fleet organization.

  • Electronic patient care reporting (ePCR). Patient reporting becomes less stressful with cloud-based systems because everything is in one spot and can be quickly completed (and accessed) with the touch of a couple buttons. 

  • Rig inspections and safety. Worry less about the preparedness of your rigs and their maintenance. Cloud-based softwares can track their performance, keep their maintenance schedule and alert you when it’s time to be updated.

This is only the tip of the iceberg for what can be done with cloud-based systems.
