Pilipinas911 announces implementation of Medical Priority Dispatch System

MANILA, Philippines - Pilipinas911 is excited to announce the implementation of the Medical Priority Dispatch System (MPDS) to better serve in subscribers in emergency situations.

Dispatchers using the newly implemented protocol system will follow internationally recognized standards; give universal, consistent care and service to every caller; gather critical emergency call information for responders; identify life-threatening situations; safely prioritize calls for appropriate and fast response; and provide “Zero Minute” Dispatch Life Support using Pre-Arrival and Post-Dispatch Instructions.

Implementing the Medical protocol enables dispatchers to accurately assess each emergency situation and send the best response possible while safeguarding valuable and limited emergency service resources and increasing safety for subscribers and responders. One key benefit Pilipinas911 will now provide is a constant stream of crucial and updated scene information to field responders en route. This information will better prepare responders to give precise assistance when they arrive at the scene.

“From the day that we started Pilipinas911, the commitment to provide the best possible service for our subscribers is top priority. With our adoption and implementation of this world-class system, we are confident more than ever that we will be at the forefront in providing professional pre-hospital care.” Ruel Kapunan, Managing Director said.

The Priority Dispatch System (PDS) includes ProQA software and/or cardsets, a three-day certification training course for emergency dispatchers, and continual quality improvement (QI) benchmarks and training. All dispatchers who work on the new system are certified by the International Academies of Emergency Dispatch (IAED) and must recertify every two years, completing 24 hours of continuing dispatch education (CDE) and passing all requirements for IAED recertification.

Proactive quality improvement (QI) benchmarks are an important part of the newly implemented Priority Dispatch System. Use of the PDS allows communications centers to assess the quality of the care they are providing their communities, allowing them to make positive adjustments to training and staff in response to these assessments.

The constantly evolving Priority Dispatch System (PDS) will help provide the highest standard of care to the subscriber base, allowing Emergency Medical Dispatchers to better manage limited resources and increase the accuracy and efficiency of the dispatching process.

As this system of protocol implementation, training, and quality improvement is set into place, you can be confident that Pilipinas911 is earning the subscribers’ trust with every call and is your best possible source of help during times of emergency.
