911 call → ECNS low acuity criteria met (selected
Omega and Alpha calls)
EMD alerted by pink ECNS-eligible call box
EMD sends call to ECN through interface link
The nurse uses LowCode ™ Software and
clinical judgment to process the call to
determine:
The stability of the patient
The correct protocol
How soon the patient should be seen
If the patient should be seen in person
Which resource in the community best meets
the patient’s needs
The best transportation available
Appropriate self-care instructions

Home Care Disposition
High volume of calls of parents regarding children
and the elderly
Many of these cases may be seen at a later time
Many cases have the patient disposition of Home
