GoodSAM system does not require a dispatch by ambulance services (it is the same as shouting loudly for help, through walls to get the nearest first aiders). By integrating with the dispatch servcies we can enable ambulance services to alert local qualified and registered Responders to emergency calls. The Responders dispatched to a call can be choosen from multiple tiers and can be either the organisation employees, public Responders or both. You can set the range for the call and the number of people who you want to notify. (We are built to deliver an ultimate control over the alerts, please email us to hear about all of our features.)
We are proud to be researching and using the cutting edge cloud computing technology stack, which give us the ultimate flexibility and scalability. The stability of our technology stack comes from servers deployed and mirrored all over the global village. We do NOT require you to install any specific software on your systems and we do NOT require direct access to any of your data or computers. We do NOT require you to maintain anything or pay for any maintenance.
The purpose of the GoodSAM App is to enable immediate life saving assistance prior to the statutory ambulance service arriving.
It is imperative that responders providing Good Samaritan acts do not delay transfer to definitive care.
As such, the following code of conduct containing 6 basic rules has been established:
1) The Responder must ensure that their knowledge and skills are current. If formal certification is out of date then acting as a responder must NOT occur.
2) The Responder should arrive by foot. Only in especially remote locations should driving to a location be considered and the rules of the road apply fully. Since not officially dispatched, speeding or blue light driving is not allowed.
3) The Responder should only respond if fully alert and prepared (do not respond if alcohol has been consumed)
4) The Responder MUST NOT go outside of his / her skill set. BASIC LIFE SUPPORT and AED use are all that should be provided when appropriate.
5) Upon arrival of the statuary emergency services care MUST be handed over immediately.
6) The respondent MUST ensure that their knowledge and skills are currentand that they have undertaken a formal certified course in immediate life support/first aid and that such certification remains valid. If such certification lapses then a respondent should deregister from the service until it has been renewed.
