Poland is the only country in the world, which has a uniform nationwide command support system for medical rescue, integrated with the command support systems of the National Fire Service and the Police. SWD PRM is un-derstood as an ICT system that enables receiving alarm notifications from emergency notification centers and noti-fications about incidents, dispatching of emergency medical services, recording medical incidents, presentation of geographical location of the incident site, positioning of emergency medical services and support of tasks execution by emergency medical services and provincial coordinator of medical rescue. The purpose of this paper is to present assumptions of the SWD PRM system and history of its implementation as well as available technical and system capabilities. Its greatest advantage is the fact that it is a uniform nationwide teleinformatic system collecting data about medical events. Its functioning in terms of information and data collection allows for improvement of plan-ning and organization of the PRM system, which enables effective management of available forces and resources, which translates into shortening the waiting time for assistance for a person in a state of emergency by reducing the time of arrival of the Medical Rescue Unit at the scene of the event.
