Responding to the need for a poison information, education, data collection and research resource in California's Bay Area and North Coast counties, the San Francisco Bay Area Regional Poison Control Center has become an integral part of the region's emergency medical services. In the first 33 months after it opened, more than 54,000 calls for assistance were received, nearly a third from medical professionals. Through the cooperation and collaboration of public, private and university resources and interests, a cost-effective, comprehensive and accessible system has evolved for public and professional use. Through our experience a system has developed that can serve as a model for poison information services throughout the western states. Emerging public concern for toxicology issues will continue to refine this model.
为满足加利福尼亚州湾区和北海岸各县对毒物信息、教育、数据收集和研究资源的需求，旧金山湾区区域毒物控制中心已成为该地区紧急医疗服务的重要组成部分。在其开业后的前33个月里，共接到了54,000多个求助电话，其中近三分之一来自医疗专业人员。通过公共、私人和大学资源及利益相关者的合作与协作，一个具有成本效益、全面且易于使用的系统得以发展，供公众和专业人士使用。通过我们的经验，已开发出一个可作为西部各州毒物信息服务典范的系统。公众对毒理学问题日益增长的关注将继续完善这一模式。
