Ambulance Dispatch System

They assess the patients requisites through phone consultation or emergency crew referral and can dispatch an ECP, which is a single responder in an ambulance replication conveyance, as opposed to a traditional stretcher carrying ambulance.

Emergency telecommunications otherwise known as 911 dispatching is a fast paced and exciting work environment. During a twelve hour shift, the dispatchers never know what is going to occur, nor do they know when it is going to occur. Hours of boredom can be followed by minutes of sheer panic and terror. They deal with everything from domestic violence to medical calls, traffic stops to house fires. A 911 dispatcher doubles as a communications liaison for police officers, deputies, medical personnel, and fire fighters. Emergency telecommunications often known as dispatching can be broken down into four major categories: law enforcement, fire, emergency medical, and call taking/administrative.

EMTs are such an essential part of society nowadays. In my opinion, this is one of the most important jobs out there. For just a moment, imagine that you are driving down the road on a rainy night and lose control of your car. You go flying off the road and into a tree on the side of the road. Everything goes fuzzy and all you can see are flashes of reality. You fade in and out, hearing sirens and seeing lights, but you have no control of your body. The next thing you know, you wake up inside of a small room, freaking out because you have no idea what has just happened. Eventually you realize that the small room you are in is the back of an ambulance, and you are being taken

Each year in the United States approximately 114 million people visit their local Emergency Department (ED), and 16 million of these patients arrive by Emergency Medical Services (EMS). (Board et al.) Health care in America has moved from an individual, fee-for-service health care system, towards a more integrated healthcare system i.e., The Affordable Care Act (ACA), which is a government controlled healthcare system, and is set up to be a value-based payment system. The ACA will expand and transform the roles of EMS within the healthcare system. EMS’s ability to survive and thrive in this new era of healthcare, will revolve, in part, on its ability to articulate its value to healthcare providers, healthcare organizations, hospital systems, and payers, as well as patients and family members. (Smith) EMS can thrive in the future, if it embraces change. John F. Kennedy had this to say about change, “Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.” (BrainyQuote) In order for EMS to thrive in the changes that the future is bringing, it must: focus on mobile integrated healthcare, be data driven in their clinical practices. There are three other areas that will be discussed at length, EMS agencies should be actively pursuing a community paramedicine program, EMS using remote telemedicine and EMS moving towards a value-based payment system.

You should describe how emergency incidents are graded by a selected public service call centre.

The emergency services need to be called, and given all the correct information, such as, if you are with the casualty now, how many people are involved, the patients age/gender, if they are conscious. Computer software then uses this information to determine the priority of the call which is then categorised into emergency or non emergency.

Explain possible priorities and responses when dealing with two particular incidents or emergencies in a health and social care setting.

Staff also provide emergency response when needed immediately, and may call for support from ambulance personnel in more severe cases. Emergency responses include providing oxygen and in cases of an overdose sometimes administer an opiate antagonist (Kerr, 2007).

The Ambulance services have less complications than the Fire services does implementing the above concepts. The Fire service provides a larger spectrum of services and has many different apparatus for different uses. In the ambulance service they only have ALS and BLS ambulances which can sometimes work for eachother. For instance, a ALS ambulance can run a BLS call easily. However in the Fire service, a ALS ambulance cannot have the firefighting capabilities of a Truck or Engine crew. In addition, Ambulance companies have a plethora of resources that they can call on, to get another ambulance on the street is easy as calling a few people in since they have many spare ambulance that can be deployed if needed. The largest problem with the

You inform the dispatcher that you’re en-route to the location responding in code three which is lights and sirens. When you arrive on the scene, you can see two seriously damaged vehicles and all you see is chaos. The two vehicles appear to be stuck together because they hit each other so hard. The coolant and oil is splattered all over the road and burning and boiling off of the still hot engines. You’re trained to give first aid and basic life support, you are silently thankful that an ambulance is already on the scene. You see a paramedic talking with a driver who is pinned inside the vehicle trying to keep them awake. You notice that the driver is covered in blood and has severe cuts all over his or her body. Firefighters arrive on the scene to use Jaws of Life to cut out the pinned in driver. The other driver in the other vehicle appears to be unresponsive and you see paramedics pulling the driver out of the vehicle to conduct CPR on the driver. The paramedics dispatch that they need flight care to pick up one of the seriously injured drivers. The ambulance takes the other driver to the hospital after being cut out of the vehicle. Flight care arrives on scene to pick up the severely injured driver. One of your main duties is to guard flight care from people and vehicles. Flight care

You found the data report the state sent out as part of the pilot confusing. The report painted a skewed picture as there were data elements you were not able to enter. There are also lack of clear definitions of the indicators to be reported upon. For example, scene time, should it only include the time from ambulance arrival to ambulance departure, or should it also include the time when an EMT responds directly to scene.

Urgent Ambulance Services is a company that is to service its community by providing urgent and non-emergency medical pre hospital care. The organization would be serving their communities by promoting health, and safety educations in the communities they service. The organization is to educated young and old of First Aid, CPR, and safety to install the awareness and promote healthy choices. The organization is to also provide effective and prompt pre-hospital Medical services to community that calls for any non-emergent and emergency medical help, and transportations.

The Emergency Medical Service(EMS) are the people who will usually respond to a 911 call relating to medical emergency.

In some instances, COPs may find themselves in dangerous situations where there may be many casualties or situations that my demand that the medical staff needs to protect themselves as much as they need to protect their patients- the COPs. As much as evacuation is essential, there is need to provide adequate information through information sharing systems. This can be classified under their preventive role in a bid to approach the job in a proactive manner. Through this the COPs may have basic and fundamental knowledge of what to do in certain

(1) Dispatch medical personnel to the accident site as needed via ambulance or helicopter, whichever permits earliest arrival and evacuation of injured.
