Abstract

The implementation of preventive devices is always a difficult task to anticipate. It is also difficult to verify the adequacy of resources used to the needs. For this purpose, the Belgian Red Cross created the computer tool collecting administrative information, diagnostic codes, destination of the patient, triage, level of emergency as well as kinetics of admission to the preventive care station. Data analysis in the various types of events confirms the usefulness of prevention devices. Although it can be improved, the tool is reliable and permits a great extent the adaptative means to the needs.
