The Maryland Institute for Emergency Medical Services Systems (MIEMSS) has launched the Emergency Department Advisory System (EDAS). This major upgrade will enhance real-time coordination among emergency responders and hospitals.

EDAS is now live and operating alongside the legacy CHATS and @HA systems as part of the broader Maryland Emergency Medical Resource Alerting Database Next Generation (MEMRAD-NG) rollout.

The new platform integrates hospital alert notifications, Emergency Department Census Indicator Scores, ambulance status, and reroute functions — all in one secure, mobile-friendly system.

MIEMSS plans to retire the older systems by mid-July. In the meantime, EMS Operational Programs and Public Safety Answering Points are encouraged to designate an EDAS point of contact to support training and user onboarding.
