WAKE FOREST, N.C.
- EMS Toolkit offers a web-based solution which includes nearly 80 features such as employee scheduling, inventory management, certification tracking, educational tools such as online training along with fleet maintenance and QA/QI. Collaboration tools include text messaging features.

On Aug. 30, 2012, EMS agencies were notified they were requested to respond to the impact area of Hurricane Isaac for rescue efforts. Among many of the responding agencies, two were equipped with EMS Toolkit software on their smart phones and Internet-ready tablets.

Equipped with the EMS Toolkit web-based software, these agencies were able to quickly send mass text messages to their teams regarding critical information such as response zones, mission details, fall back points, patient statuses and much more. The immediate access to the EMS Toolkit mobile-friendly tools made private secure communication possible between team members.

Agencies have reported the use of EMS Toolkit software in response operations has made simultaneous communication more efficient across multiple team members. With detailed logs these agencies found there were fewer duplicate messages sent allowing rescuers to continue their search and care efforts effectively.
