Generally, cellular-telephone communications seem to be a valuable means for the public to communicate that an accident has occurred on highways in metropolitan areas. Response time is reduced and congestion quickly relieved. This system could be improved by making a provision in emergency call boxes for the separation of vehicle problems from true emergency calls to ensure the proper response priority. Cellular-telephone communications are a valuable adjunct to EMS radio communications for biotelemetry, when channels are overcrowded or communications are needed in a "dead" area. A system of dedicated hospital-emergency-department lines and telephone numbers is needed. Cellular telephones shouldn't be used as a primary means of providing medical control. Advance planning should be undertaken to ensure immediate access to hospital emergency departments if cellular is used for secondary purposes. The amount of communication traffic at and surrounding a multi-casualty incident or disaster may overwhelm a local cell. Priority numbers providing immediate access and bumping of non-emergency calls for emergency responders are needed. All means of communication should be coordinated by an EMS communications MCI or disaster plan.
一般来说，蜂窝电话通信似乎是公众通报大都市地区高速公路上发生事故的一种重要手段。响应时间得以缩短，拥堵状况迅速缓解。通过在紧急呼叫箱中做出规定，将车辆问题与真正的紧急呼叫区分开来，以确保正确的响应优先级，该系统可以得到改进。当频道拥挤或在“信号盲区”需要通信时，蜂窝电话通信是急救医疗服务无线电通信进行生物遥测的重要辅助手段。需要建立一个专门的医院急诊科线路和电话号码系统。蜂窝电话不应被用作提供医疗控制的主要手段。如果将蜂窝电话用于次要目的，应提前进行规划，以确保能立即接入医院急诊科。多伤员事故或灾难现场及其周边的通信流量可能会使当地的一个基站不堪重负。需要为应急响应人员提供能立即接入并优先处理非紧急呼叫的优先号码。所有通信手段都应由急救医疗服务通信重大事件或灾难计划进行协调。
