Method and system for data aggregation for real-time emergency resource management

A device comprising:

• a processor;
• a communication interface configured to send and to receive information from a network;
• and
• a computer-readable medium including computer-readable instructions stored therein that, upon execution by the processor, perform operations comprising
• collecting resource availability information from a plurality of medical facilities, wherein the collecting the resource availability information comprises selectively polling one or more resource stores associated with the plurality of medical facilities, wherein the selectively polling the one or more resource stores associated with the plurality of medical facilities is performed:
• in response to the received resource availability query from the second device,
• periodically according to a user-defined schedule, or
• automatically in response to a change in the resource availability information;
• storing the collected resource availability information in a database;
• receiving a resource availability query from a second device, the resource availability query including a resource specification;
• identifying resource availability data based on the resource specification;
• aggregating the identified resource availability data;
• and
• sending the aggregated resource availability data to the second device.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium including computer-readable instructions stored therein that, upon execution by a processor, cause the processor to provide resource availability information related to medical facilities to a second device in a network, the instructions configured to cause a computing device to:

• collect resource availability information from a plurality of medical facilities using the network, wherein the collecting the resource availability information comprises selectively polling one or more resource stores associated with the plurality of medical facilities, wherein the selectively polling the one or more resource stores associated with the plurality of medical facilities is performed:
• in response to the received resource availability query from the second device,
• periodically according to a user-defined schedule, or
• automatically in response to a change in the resource availability information;
• store the collected resource availability information in a database;
• receive a resource availability query from the second device using the network, the resource availability query including a resource specification;
• identify resource availability data based on the resource specification;
• aggregate the identified resource availability data;
• and
• send the aggregated resource availability data to the second device using the network.
