1.1.1 Purpose

HAVE is a draft XML specification that allows the communication of the status of a hospital, its services, and its resources. These include bed capacity and availability, emergency department status, available service coverage, and the status of a hospital’s facility and operations.

1.1.2 History

In a disaster or emergency situation, there is a need for hospitals to be able to communicate with each other, and with other members of the emergency response community. The ability to exchange data in regard to hospitals’ bed availability, status, services, and capacity enables both hospitals and other emergency agencies to respond to emergencies and disaster situations with greater efficiency and speed. In particular, it will allow emergency dispatchers and managers to make sound logistics decisions - where to route victims, which hospitals have the ability to provide the needed service. Many hospitals have expressed the need for, and indeed are currently using, commercial or self-developed information technology that allows them to publish this information to other hospitals in a region, as well as EOCs, 9-1-1 centers, and EMS responders via a Web-based tool.

Systems that are available today do not record or present data in a standardized format, creating a serious barrier to data sharing between hospitals and emergency response groups. Without data standards, parties of various kids are unable to view data from hospitals in a state or region that use a different system – unless a specialized interface is developed. Alternatively, such officials must get special passwords and toggle between web pages to get a full picture. Other local emergency responders are unable to get the data imported into the emergency IT tools they use (e.g. a 9-1-1 computer-aided dispatch system or an EOC consequence information management system). They too must get a pass word and go to the appropriate web page. This is very inefficient. A uniform data standard will allow different applications and systems to communicate seamlessly.

This is the overall top level container element for all the <Hospital> elements that may be present.

This is the top level container element for each reporting organization. Each <Hospital> element has the following set of sub-elements.

The <OrganizationInformation> element provides basic information about the name and location of the organization about which the status and availability is being reported.

The <EmergencyDepartmentStatus> element provides information on the ability of the emergency department of the organization to treat patients.

The <HospitalBedCapacityStatus> element provides information on the status and availability of the bed capacity of the organization. The bed capacity information for specific bed types can be reported.

The <ServiceCoverageStatus> element provides information on the availability of specialty service coverage. This includes both the necessary staff and facilities. Some of the services capabilities are broken down into subtypes. This is to allow organizations to designate subtypes, if available. Others can report just the higher level specialties.

The <HospitalFacilityStatus> element provides information on the status of the facility. This includes information on the EOC and the capacity of the facility.

The <HospitalResourcesStatus> element provides information on the status of operations and resources of the organization.

The <LastUpdateTime> element provides information on the time that the information was last updated.

The key words words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].

2.2 REQUIREMENTS FOR DESIGN

2.3 EXAMPLE USAGE SCENARIOS

A major disaster has occurred in a heavily populated city. A number of casualties are reported, and the Incident Commander (IC) needs to obtain a common operational picture on the status of the hospitals in the region, including the resources they can offer. The IC sends a message to the regional hospitals for an update on their status and bed availability information.

Hospitals receive this request, and use their respective systems to send HAVE messages. These messages contain the status of each hospital’s emergency department, bed availability information, and the hospital’s operations and facilities. These are accepted into the IC’s Consequence Incident Management System (CIMS) tool, and similar tools used by other emergency response agencies (e.g. Computer-Aided Dispatch systems used in public safety answering points).

A car crash has occurred in a rural area resulting in two badly burned victims, according to on-scene public safety personnel. Before the EMS staff reaches the scene, EMS dispatch sends a request to nearby hospitals for a status of available burn services and burn beds.
A few hospitals respond to the request, and use the service coverage element in the HAVE message to specify the burn coverage available at their facilities. They in turn are able to assemble their burn teams in order to ensure that there is no delay in treatment. Based on the acquired information, the victims are taken to the nearest hospital with the required services.

The <where> element is structured as a container element with a choice-type component and attributes. For the purposes of the EDXL-HAVE document, the Point element will be used most of the time, if not always. Taking this into consideration, documentation on the other sub-elements is provided here to serve as a context and reference. These are included in the schema below as well.
