the CDC and the CDC Foundation partnered with OnStar and the GM Foundation to develop procedures to help emergency medical responders determine whether a motorist needs care at a trauma center after a vehicle crash.
Through this partnership, the CDC conducted a vehicle telematics initiative to develop evidence-based protocols for the emergency medical community to effectively use automotive telemetry data.[when?
CDC convened a panel of emergency medical physicians, trauma surgeons, public safety, and vehicle safety experts to consider how real-time AACN and similar systems can be used to determine whether injured patients need trauma center care.
Advisors can relay this information to emergency dispatchers, helping them to quickly determine the appropriate personnel, equipment, and facilities.
This data set can be transmitted to a response center, which can forward it to emergency service providers.
