What Is the HAVE Standard?

“Hospital Availability Exchange (HAVE) is a draft XML specification that allows the communication of the status of a hospital and its resources to other emergency agencies, including bed capacity and availability, emergency department status, the available service coverage, and the status of a hospital’s facility and operations.”

EMSystems Supports the HAVE Standard

EMSystems meets and exceeds the HAVE requirements put forth by the Hospital Preparedness Program (HPP), previously known as the National Bioterrorism Hospital Preparedness Program. This standard was designed to enable communication of hospital statuses and its resources to other emergency agencies, and includes: the aggregation of data at region and state levels, displaying hospital identification information, reporting bed capacity by various categories, ED diversion status, decontamination facilities and ventilator availability status.

EMSystems Helped Set the Standard

EMSystems assisted in writing the HAVE data schema under the direction of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). EMResource meets and exceeds the HAVE requirements as a browser-based, real-time emergency resource tracking and management application. EMSystems solutions are used by thousands of hospitals and emergency services for preparedness, communication, response to medical emergencies, mass casualty events, and public health incidents.

Time-Tested, Proven Solution

In a disaster or emergency situation, there is a real need for hospitals to communicate with each other and with the emergency health care providers. In order to respond to emergencies or disasters with greater efficiency, hospitals across the country are implementing a real-time hospital bed availability system to assist with regional and national patient surge capacity needs. EMSystems is currently used in over 35% of the country, including numerous state-wide implementations.
