Bachelor Thesis from the year 2006 in the subject Health Science,
grade: A, Andrey Jackson University (American College for
Prehospital Medicine), course: Emergency Medical Services,
language: English, comment: Dispatcher training can improve
ambulance response times in EMS systems in low income countries,
abstract: Dispatcher training can improve ambulance response times
in emergency medical service (EMS) systems in low income countries.
Emergency health care systems are of increasing concern in
international healthcare developments and the global fight against
the burdens of disease. Studies show that emergency health care
improvements in developing countries should focus on ambulance
response. Low-cost changes including emergency medical dispatch
training in developing urban emergency health care systems can
improve ambulance response times. Concerns about focusing on
ambulance response time as a single indicator are addressed by
showing a case sensitive approach for developing emergency health
care systems that in return can identify ambulance response as main
indicator for a particular system. This approach has been chosen
for the subject of study, the Osh Ambulance Service, a municipal
EMS in Kyrgyzstan. This particular service, the implemented
research, the study design and, the data analysis are presented.
The data show that there has been a change from an average response
time of 23, 18 minutes to 20, 15 minutes. This data is
statistically significant and indicates that the implemented
changes, despite severe challenges, likely have an effect, but it
is unclear if this change will have a large clinical impact.
Further research on emergency medical dispatch and emergency
medical response in low- and middle- income countries is
encouraged. With increased opportunities and further globalization
emergency health care professionals could play a greater role in
research and development of emergency medical service systems in
resource-limited countries.
