MV-ECON Business Value The goal is to achieve a significant reduction in the notification timeframe (current national average is over six hours) by establishing a nationwide interoperable system enabling emergency responders to securely access a minimum of a name and telephone number for at least one contact person Early involvement of an ‘emergency contact’ to advocate on behalf of a crash victim and/or to provide information regarding the availability and location of a crash victim’s personal health record (PHR) has the potential to greatly enhance emergency healthcare and post-crash survivability

MV-ECON Use Case A worst case scenario is a doctor in an emergency room trying to treat an unidentified, unconscious crash victim and has no idea what other medical conditions the crash victim may have or which medications he or she might be taking. Meanwhile, hours elapse (a national average of six hours) as family members are not notified and crash victims enter the emergency healthcare system without the benefit of family members to advocate on their behalf and/or provide added-value information to enhance the medical care of crash victims Other Use Cases involve expanding private medical alert services, such as, LifeLine, MedicAlert, to include ‘emergency contact / next- of-kin’ services
