Current CAD/MEDS Interfaces

The APCO Institute Multi-purpose Emergency Dispatch System (MEDS™) is designed to function with a Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system. In functioning with a CAD system, MEDS™ will gather certain data from the CAD system such as basic ANI/ALI information and will relay information back to the CAD such as chief complaint type and response criteria. This prevents the unnecessary step of having a telecommunicator input data twice.

The following CAD vendors currently have an interface in place for MEDS™:

CTS (SmartCop)
Global Software Corp.
HTE
Huber and Associates, Inc.
InterAct Public Safety Systems
Intergraph Public Safety, Inc.
LogiSYS
Motorola
New World
Northrop Grumman PSI
OSSI
Positron
PSSI
Tiburon
TriTech
Shieldware
Southern Software, Inc.

There are interfaces with numerous other CAD vendors under development at this time. Contact the APCO Institute at institute@apco911.org or call (888) APCO-911 for more information.
