Experience of Activation of the J-SPEED(MDS) in Japan

Introduction: The Emergency Medical Team (EMT) Strategic Advisory Group of the World Health Organization has endorsed the EMT Minimum Data Set (MDS) as the standard methodology for EMT daily report. The MDS had been developed on a similar methodology called J-SPEED which developed in Japan. Thus, lessons learned from the J-SPEED can be applied to the MDS. Aim: To review previous J-SPEED activations and to extract lessons learned. Methods: Cases of the J-SPEED activation at the Kumamoto earthquake in 2016, West Japan Heavy Rain in 2018, and Hokkaido Earthquake in 2018 were reviewed. Results: The first large-scale activation of the J-SPEED at the Kumamoto earthquake revealed a significant burden in aggregations of submitted paper forms at the EMT Coordination Cell (EMTCC). To strengthen this function of the EMTCC, electronic system and human capacity development have been identified as key issues. To fulfill this gap, a smartphone app so-called J-SPEED+ has been developed. Also, the J-SPEED offsite analysis support team, which is a team to support analysis of data from outside of an affected area has been established. These two functions contributed to significant improvement of J-SPEED data flow at the West Japan Heavy Rain and Hokkaido Earthquake. These two responses reinforced the necessity of strengthening the capacity of J-SPEED onsite coordinator working at the ETMCC, and national education and training for all EMTs. Discussion: In order to strengthen the mechanism to run the J-SPEED, nationwide training for all EMTs, onsite coordinators, and the off-site analysis support team have been established. The authors regard this structural approach as a requirement for other countries to run the MDS.
