Sammanfattning
Medical emergency teams collaborating in situations characterised by time constraints and long distances need to quickly establish a cooperative relationship based on trust and a shared understanding of the situation. When we established the Video-based Emergency Medical Interaction (VEMI, VAKe in Norwegian) system, our primary goal was clinical collaboration and support for decision-making. The system has so far been put to use in some hospitals and medical emergency centres in Northern Norway Regional Health Authority, although such «virtual teams» and «virtual medical emergency centres» may also be used in case of major crises and disasters as an adequate alternative to shared emergency telephone numbers and shared emergency response centres. Currently Norway has three public emergency numbers: 110 (fire), 112 (police), and 113 (medical emergencies).
