碩士 === 國立陽明大學 === 公共衛生研究所 === 87 === Accidents was still among the top 4 reasons of death last year according to "The Main Causes of Death for Taiwan Region in 1998", which was proclaimed by Department of Health early this year. With accidents happen so frequently like this, how to reduce damage to the lowest level becomes a very important matter nowadays. Therefore, it is a great urgency to build an immediate, rapid and highly efficient emergency medical care system. Network analysis, which is a function of Geographical Information System (GIS) has been taken by dispatching center to realize whole situation and to decide the most suitable hospital for patient. Their considering reasons include the quantity of beds in hospital''s intensive care room, respiratory equipment needed and the best traffic routes to hospital in hand. Besides, the first-aid personnel in ambulance are able to know patient''s medical history and then perform their task better. Therefore, Emergency Medical Care System cooperating with GIS short delivering time and reduce the damage to the lowest level. Now, dispatching stuffs in 蕇 Dispatching Center of Emergency Medical Care and Rescue" can get accurately geographical features of location and a clear map through this system. With all the helpful information in hand, stuff is able to work more efficiently. The dissertation can be a good reference to build up Emergency Medical Care System by the application of GIS. In this study, procedures are first designed by concerning over current construction of emergency medical care system. Secondly, the details need to be cared while using GIS. After this, we discuss and solve several confronting problems. In the end, using GIS software built a prototype of emergency medical care system. We hope it will really contribute to the service of Emergency Medical Care System.
