我國緊急醫療救護資訊智能平臺的回顧與前瞻

Review and outlook of an intelligent information platform for emergency medical services in Taiwan

天災人禍事件頻傳以及巨災常態化，再加上隨社會人口老化所帶來的平時急重症病人增加，造成平時與災時持續且大量隨機的傷病患需求增加，已是當前國際社會緊急醫療救護服務（EMS）面對的重要挑戰。緊急醫療服務體系發展受到國際上兩大趨勢的影響，一是韌性災防與韌性醫療的倡議，另一是EMS資訊整合的推動。衛生福利部於2021年正式推動優化與整合緊急醫療資訊智能平臺計畫，然而國內缺少相關EMS資訊系統發展的文獻，本文的目的是依據國際上緊急醫療救護體系與EMS資訊系統的發展趨勢，綜合概述我國緊急醫療救護資訊智能平臺之發展現況與前瞻，做為公共衛生維護與緊急醫療救護資訊系統發展之參考。

Taiwan’s health-care resources are strained by the prevalence of natural and man-made disasters and an aging population in the country. This is a key challenge that emergency medical services (EMSs) facilities in Taiwan are facing. Thus, Taiwan’s Ministry of Health and Welfare officially released a refinement plan in 2021 to improve the existing platform for sharing emergency medical information. EMS information systems have been developed as part of two trends globally. The first is a focus on resilience in disaster prevention and health-care provision, and the second is a focus on EMS information integration. However, literature on the development of EMS information systems in Taiwan is lacking. Therefore, this paper introduces the development status and functions of EMS intelligent information platform in use in Taiwan.
