(TNS) \u2014 The Council Bluffs Fire Department has been partnering with a company called OneDose to bring a modern approach to dispensing medicine.<\/p>\n

OneDose created an app-based software where the department can enter the weight of a person and the software will kick back the dose needed for the individual.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor years, we’ve used paper protocols,\u201d said Capt. Daniel Morse. \u201cSo, what this is, is a software-based application and when we plug a patient’s weight into it, it automatically gives us the dosing back.\u201d<\/p>\n


The company, in a press release about partnering with Council Bluffs, says it uses artificial intelligence. Its website describes an “AI-native protocol management app.”<\/p>\n

Morse said the software is especially helpful with the increase in calls the department receives. The department has been partnering with the organization for over a year.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe’re dealing with a ton of fatigue right now with our we’re running more calls than we ever have, and we have to give our paramedics and our EMTs the tools to be able to do really accurate medications really quickly, and this does it for us,\u201d Morse said.<\/p>\n

Morse said that the tool also helps the department give even more accurate dosing to each patient\u2019s specific needs.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo it’s a tool to help us, one, be better providers to our patients, and also be more accurate with the medications that we’re giving,\u201d Morse said. \u201cAnd, realistically, the best thing for our patients is weight-based medications.\u201d<\/p>\n

Morse said the technology has helped modernize EMS practices.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s truly changing the way we can deliver care to our patients. It’s a good piece of software,\u201d Morse said. “It’s the right direction to modernize EMS and what we’re doing for the citizens of the Council Bluffs.”<\/p>\n
