Care Facility --> Emergency Vehicle OBE:
care facility status

Definitions

care facility status (Information Flow): Information regarding facility type and capabilities, facility status, and its ability to admit new patients. The ability to admit new patients reflects the current state of the facility, anticipated demand based on coordination with other arriving ambulances, and existing queues. This status may be updated in real-time as it changes.

Care Facility (Source Physical Object): The 'Care Facility' represents a hospital or another emergency care facility. It may also represent a third party quality of care information provider.

Emergency Vehicle OBE (Destination Physical Object): The 'Emergency Vehicle On-Board Equipment' (OBE) resides in an emergency vehicle and provides the processing, storage, and communications functions that support public safety-related connected vehicle applications. It represents a range of vehicles including those operated by police, fire, and emergency medical services. In addition, it represents other incident response vehicles including towing and recovery vehicles and freeway service patrols. It includes two-way communications to support coordinated response to emergencies. A separate 'Vehicle OBE' physical object supports the general vehicle safety and driver information capabilities that apply to all vehicles, including emergency vehicles. The Emergency Vehicle OBE supplements these general capabilities with capabilities that are specific to emergency vehicles.

Rating High High High
Basis Sensitive data: staff on call, both numbers and identities, and performance of the facility are all data examples that, if compromised to a nefarious party, could lead to devastating consequences. Status information needs to be timely and correct so that errors may be identified and corrected. Given the health-focus of this flow, the cost of incorrect data could be high which justifies the high integrity.
