We have developed a communication system in which data are transferred from the scene of an emergency in the form of an electronic record on a notepad computer by means of a satellite link (MODACOM). The data are received at the dispatch centre and transferred to the admitting hospital automatically. In a prospective study of 53 emergencies the technical suitability of the system was investigated. First-sight information could be fed into the computer in 15 s and transmitted within 3 min of arrival on the scene. For 16 patients with life-threatening conditions, the admitting hospital was notified on average after 13.6 min (SD 6.0), whereas by conventional VHF radio it took 35.5 min (SD 8.9). In addition, more precise information about the patient's condition was received at the hospital.
