Smartphone Emergency App
Emergency Responders SmartApp for the TAL Patient Wristband
EMSTAL
The EMS-TAL App enables a Smartphone to read NFC data stored on the TAL Wristband's NFC chip. The chip contains Patient's Identification information and their Transport Assistance Level and their special needs.
When combined with the TAL Emergency Cloud Services, Emergency Responders can access all the critical information needed to evacuate the patient and safely deliver them to their assigned destinations.
TAL Assessments
Transportation Assistance Level Scores (TAL) are essential for emergency responders to know how to move patient and what is needed for their continuing care. The information is updated via HL7 Interface with EMRs or manually entered using the Emergency Cloud Service.
The TAL Assessment determines the patient's mobility level and what is needed to evacuate a patient from the facility.
Track Emergency Evacuations
The EMSTAL app allows Emergency responders to track the progress of an Evacuation. When tapping the Patient Wristband with a Smartphone, the patient's location Geo-Coordinates are transmitted and logged to the TAL Emergency Cloud Service.
The patient's location can be looked up with the Smartphone, Notepad, or Laptop.
Contacts & Checklists
The EMSTAL App provides for communication between all members of the emergency team in charge of the evacuation
The app maintains check lists to ensure that all the necessary tasks have been completed to insure a safe and orderly evacuation.
Online Policy & Procedures

The online documentation can be accessed via a Smartphone, Notepad or Laptop device.
The book reader provides indexing and lookup functions for quick access to the documentation.
Elopement Protection
This Application uses the patient wristband to prevent patients from wandering into restricted areas or attempting to elope from the facility. Requirements:
- Patient Wristband+
- Entrance & Exit Sensors
The Wristband+ contains an RF-iD chip that can be detected by RF sensors at entrances and exits. As a patient approaches the sensors, alarms are triggered and the doors lock. The system will alert the nursing staff where and who is attempting to elope.
