The Pulaski County Medical Exchange,
established in 1963, serves physicians, patients and the general
public with around-the-clock physician locator services. It was
the first emergency medical answering service in Arkansas
exclusive to physicians. Only Society members are eligible for
Exchange privileges.
The Medical Exchange is completely
automated and computerized. All calls coming into the Exchange
and all information collected from the calls are stored in
electronic format. This gives the Exchange the ability to
quickly and easily retrieve past call information.
The software automates the processes
of tracking on-call schedules, physician contact information,
call instructions to locate physicians, and special instructions
given by physicians for certain time frames. All information
is available immediately to all operators, reducing the chance
for errors while locating physicians and for providing call back
information. Exchange operators may now quickly retrieve
history data on any transaction processed by the Exchange if an
Exchange member has questions on a certain transaction, or needs
information on the steps taken by the Exchange to process a call
transaction.
Utilizing a computerized system allows
the Exchange to offer additional services to members:
- Call statistic reporting at the request of a physician or group
- Call transaction reporting at the request of a physician or group
- Ability to review and verify on-call schedules on request
- Ability for a physician/group to send changes to contact information, on-call schedule, contact instructions, etc. to Exchange supervisor via email
