摘要

社會人口結構隨著高齡化的來臨而改變，老年人口佔總人口數達10.63%，比例會逐漸提高，年長者在居家環境中遇到危急狀況需要送醫急救的次數逐漸攀升，為了提昇緊急醫療救護的執行效率及品質，因此若能有效利用資訊科技，整合整體醫療系統與器材間的介接傳輸，強化人性化的操作設計，以發揮整體最大的效用，進而提高救護品質並提高救治率，將是全體國人生命與健康的一大利基。本研究為醫療資訊系統與資通訊科技的整合運用，設計出符合大眾認知的方便性、快速性、安全性、人性化操作等多方需求的整合，分為健康照護中心(Service Center For Health Care)，緊急醫療醫院端(Emergency Medical Hospital)，緊急救護車端(Emergency Ambulance)，建構以WiMAX網路為基礎的整合性緊急醫療救護機制，利用WiMAX無線傳輸的特性，透過醫療量測設備的介接傳輸，第一時間提供立即的生理量測資訊，在救援過程中利用視訊的影音傳輸與急診室醫師進行即時的線上指導，掌握最關鍵的時刻，建立完善的主動式緊急醫療救護。

The population structure has changed with the aging of population. In the present, elders account for 10.63% of the domestic population and are still on the increase. In other words, the demand for emergency services among community-dwelling elders is expected to grow in the future. In order to enhance the efficiency and quality of emergency care, information technology should be effectively utilized to integrate backhauls between medical systems and facilities, strengthen human-centered designs, and maximize overall performance of the care system. The improvement in quality of emergency care and survival rate is an important foundation for better life and health of all people. Through integrated application of medical information systems and information communication technology, this paper proposes a WiMAX-based emergency care system according to public demands for convenience, speed, safety, and human-centeredness of emergency care. This system consists of a Service Center for Health Care, Emergency Medical Hospitals, and Emergency Ambulances. Based on the wireless transmission capability of WiMAX, it can send patients’ physiological data through the backhaul of measurement facilities to the emergency room and enable emergency room doctors to provide online instructions on emergency treatment via webcams. Hence, it helps emergency care staff get hold of critical moments and offer active emergency care services.
