Fire Solution Description
Med Media’s Fire Solution is a comprehensive technology system designed to meet the many electronic needs of a Fire Department. Components work independent of one another, but work most efficiently as a total integrated solution. Med Media’s goal is to provide a technology solution to the customer that identifies the crucial components needed based upon the organizations current and future requirements throughout the evaluation, purchasing, implementation, and maintenance stages. All of our systems are expandable and scaleable, which is essential to enable information from a variety of public safety agencies to be monitored by appropriate oversight agencies such as emergency management agencies. Here’s an example of a typical event using all aspects of the solution:

NFIRS Reporting: FIREStat

FIREStat receives data pushed to the software from a computer-aided dispatch (CAD) system. The data is imported into FIREStat to initiate a fire incident report.

Med Media’s FIREStat 1.0 is the desktop solution for collecting fire incident information. The original version was engineered in 1999. Med Media's FIREStat solution is desktop software designed to exceed requirements for electronic data reporting based on the National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS). It replaces hand written fire incident sheets, follows the progressive workflow of a call and helps the user to complete data collection and reporting requirements in a fraction of the time compared to current methodologies.

FIREStat automates all functions in a manner that minimizes entry errors and effectively collects data required by the United States Fire Administration (USFA) for incident reporting. It even employs visual and aural cues to indicate the absence of required data prior to closing an incident report.

Data Warehouse: WebCUR
Med Media's data repository solution provides a web-based application for data warehousing and report generation. Data backups and disaster recovery are significant issues for public safety agencies that are not equipped to be data centers. The simple ability to be able to store critical data on a remote web site via a secure Internet connection will provide important backup and disaster recovery functionality to these remote operations.

Though the ability to archive data on the WebCUR or your personal data center website is important, this is only one of the many features that will be available to the customers that subscribe to this service. WebCUR will provide full reporting capabilities to authorized clients and over time, will provide the ability for electronic reporting instead of the labor-intensive paper process.


The client to server communications will be done via standards based, 128-bit SSL and the web based application client is fully integrated into the WebCUR Data Link desktop client.


FIREStat: EMS Module
The EMS module in FIREStat permits the user to document their NFIRS and NEMSIS required data in the one system. Data is stored on WebCUR for reporting purposes. Data submission is transmitted to EMS authorities in a NEMSIS compliant format. Users familiar with our latest EMS product will find the user interface to be similar. Administrative reporting and quality assurance are handled at the web level. Electronic files may be attached to the document. Interfaces between billing software and service providers is handled via our WebBill application.


Mobile Solutions
Med Media’s applications may be accessed from any web-enabled device. Interfaces identify the type of device accessing the system and optimize the view for the user. The intent of accessing our system from a mobile web-enabled device is to give the flexibility of access and basic documentation on the incident record. Once saved, the information is updated to the data repository and is available to update through the conventional desktop software application.


Fire Scene Rehab & Accountability
Med Media, Inc. utilizes its personnel tracking system to track activities of personnel at incident scenes. Serial vital signs including temperature and fluid resuscitation data is tracked for reporting purposes after the incident.

Inspection
Med Media offers a solution for performing a variety of inspections on a handheld or mobile computer with a fully functional operating system. The inspection application gives the user the ability to select standard NFPA codes for violation notification. A robust set of features and reports allow the fire inspector to review preplans, prior notices given during inspections and detail regarding various building and inspection codes.


Fire Billing: WebBill
Med Media’s WebBill eliminates the cost associated with mailing or faxing incident reports to your billing service. Harnessing the power of our WebCUR technology, this solution puts the tools in the hands of those doing the billing. Data from calls for service may be downloaded from WebCUR via an encrypted connection to the WebBill software. Individual and batch printing of incident report is available. The incident, billing page and any electronic attachments are also viewable by the billing agent in WebCUR. WebBill also creates electronic exports of data from the incident record in formats defined by the billing software vendor.
