Abstract:

Providing acute medical care outside of the hospital, Emergency Medical Services (EMS) is crucial in rural environments where hospitals are not close by and are difficult to access. Establishing EMS performance measures is critical in improving a rural community’s access to these services and eliminating systemic inequalities; however, an absence of quantitative performance analysis leads to challenges in developing attainable objectives and service metrics. Hence, the main objectives in this study are as follows: 1) to establish more specific, data-driven, and rural EMS performance-based measures 2) to increase the utilization of rural EMS resources through station planning and location optimization 3) to identify key variables contributing to response time, specifically, en route time.
