JSC reported that its engineers had designed, built, and installed an emergency communications console at the medical center in Odessa, Texas, control center for the 17-county Permian Basin emergency medical system. The prototype console would allow physicians and nurses to consult with paramedics in the field, receive incoming electrocardiograms, set up radio-to-telephone patches, page hospital staff members, and automatically dial special care centers and other facilities in the area. After field tests and modification, JSC engineers would make console plans available to interested communities, according to a NASA announcement. (JSC Release 77-27; NASA Release 77-86)
