Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to apply agent-based modeling and simulation concepts in evaluating different approaches to solve ambulance-dispatching decision problems under bounded rationality. The paper investigates the effect of over-responding, i.e. dispatching ambulances even for doubtful high-risk patients, on the performance of equity constrained emergency medical services. Design/methodology/approach Agent-based modeling and simulation was used to evaluate two different dispatching policies: first, a policy based on maximum reward, and second, a policy based on the Markov decision process formulation. Four equity constraints were used: two from the patients’ side and two from the providers’ side. Findings The Markov decision process formulation, solved using value iteration method, performed better than the maximum reward method in terms of number of patients served. As the equity constraints conflict with each other, at most three equity constraints could be enforced at a time. The study revealed that it is safe to over-respond if there is uncertainty in the risk level of the patients. Research limitations/implications Further research is required to understand the implications of under-responding, where doubtful high-risk patients are denied an ambulance service. Practical implications The need for good triage system is apparent as over-responding badly affects the operational budget. The model can be used for evaluating various dispatching policy decisions. Social implications Emergency medical services have to ensure efficient and equitable provision of services, from the perception of both patients and service providers. Originality/value The paper applies agent-based modeling to equity constrained emergency medical services and highlights findings that are not reported in the existing literature.

Abstract:
The quality of emergency medical services (EMS) prior to a patient's arrival at a hospital is directly affected by the efficiency to dispatch an ambulance for first aid. In this paper, we created an ambulance dispatching system for first aid, which is integrated with Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and performed on a cloud platform. In virtue of ICT, the system can readily monitor the movements of ambulance with Geographic Information System (GIS) and determine any ambulance dispatching task and saves more time spent in transporting an accident victim to a hospital. Furthermore, the system running on a cloud platform is characteristic of integrated medical resources and terminal equipment with or without powerful hardware that is flexibly added into or removed from the system for supporting dispatch.

Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Ensuring the availability and quality of an ambulance service, including specialized ambulance, medical care, and specialized medical care in emergency and emergency form for fatal diseases, accidents, injuries, poisoning, and other conditions that require urgent medical intervention is an integral part of the national security system and one of the most important areas of health development in the Russian Federation. During the COVID-19 pandemic, such tasks appeared in the organization of emergency and emergency medical care for patients as a prompt distribution to inpatient departments, considering the severity of the patients condition, their covid status, and the availability of free places in medical organizations in a specific region, compliance with the waiting time prescribed for emergency medical care, and cutting off the non-core calls. AIM: To determine the optimal organizational structure of the ambulance service in the subject of the Russian Federation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Collection and statistical processing of information regarding the work of ambulance services in a specific region were carried out. Correlation-thematic analysis using the Pearsons coefficient was performed. RESULTS: During the under covid period from 2016 to 2019, the overall mortality rate showed a clear downward trend. However, during the pandemic, even without taking into account the excess mortality, there was an increase, while, in 2020, when compared with 2019, the increase was 12%. Moreover, despite the increase in excess mortality in 2021 relative to that in 2020 by almost four times, the total mortality (excluding COVID) remained almost at the same level. In addition, it should be noted that, in regions where the ambulance service was represented by a single legal entity during the epidemic, excess mortality was lower in comparison with that in the regions where ambulance service was represented by departments within the Central District hospitals. CONCLUSION: The period of the coronavirus epidemic has largely transformed the healthcare system. The presence of a Unified Dispatching Service or a unified ambulance service in a region has a positive effect on the quality indicators of its healthcare system. In addition, the formation of new units in the structure of the ambulance service, such as a department for remote counseling, allows not only to ensure more accessibility to patients but also to effectively use the financial resources of an institution.

Abstract:
As the original grid model cant meet the needs of smart grid development, a distributed grid modeling and integrated management technologies based on cloud computing are proposed in this paper. In this scheme, a multi-level integrated "model cloud" is developed with horizontal collaboration and vertical cut-through using cloud storage, cloud services, cloud computing and other related technologies. The grid models of levels of dispatching institutions are gathered, stored and managed with unified model service. The scheme can dress the issues of device naming, information sharing, model exchanging and model unifying, reduce the maintenance workload, improve the quality of the model and the degree of coordinated automation and enhance the level of dispatching and analysis of the whole power grid.

AbstractIntroduction:Behavioral and social science research suggests that job satisfaction and job performance are positively correlated. It is important that Emergency Medical Services managers identify predictors of job satisfaction in order to maximize job performance among prehospital personnel.Purpose:Identify job stressors that predict the level of job satisfaction among prehospital personnel.Methods:The study was conducted with in a large, urban Emergency Medical Services (Emergency Medical Services) service performing approximately 60,000 Advanced Life Support (Advanced Life Support) responses annually. Using focus groups and informal interviews, potential predictors of global job satisfaction were identified. These factors included: interactions with hospital nurses and physicians; on-line communications; dispatching; training provided by the ambulance service; relationship with supervisors and; standing orders as presently employed by the ambulance service. These factors were incorporated into a 21 item questionnaire including one item measuring global job satisfaction, 14 items measuring potential predictors of satisfaction, and seven questions exploring demographic information such as age, gender, race, years of experience, and years with the company. The survey was administered to all paramedics and Emergency Medical Technicians (Emergency Medical Technicians s) Results of the survey were analyzed using univariate and multivariate techniques to identify predictors of global job satisfaction.Results:Ninety paramedics and Emergency Medical Technicians participated in the study, a response rate of 57.3%. Job satisfaction was cited as extremely satisfying by 11%, very satisfying by 29%, satisfying by 45%, and not satisfying by 15% of respondents. On univariate analysis, only the quality of training, quality of physician interaction, and career choice were associated with global job satisfaction. On multivariate analysis, only career choice (p = 0.005) and quality of physician interaction (p = 0.05) were predictive of global job satisfactionConclusion:Quality of career choice and interactions with physicians are predictive of global job satisfaction within this urban emergency medical service (Emergency Medical Technicians). Future studies should examine specific characteristics of the physician-paramedic interface that influence job satisfaction and attempt to generalize these results to other settings.

Abstract:
In order to solve the modeling problem of travel as a service (MaaS) collaborative dispatching system of railway passenger transport hub based on neural network algorithm, meet people’s needs, make up for the lack of high traffic travel pressure, and improve people’s living standards, through 30 random questionnaires, it is found that 28 people think that travel convenience improves their quality of life, and 2 people think that owning a car has little effect on travel convenience. Travel has always been people’s basic living needs. In recent years, with the improvement of people’s living standards, there are more and more urban vehicles. At the same time, the increase of vehicles also directly leads to the increasing pressure of urban traffic travel, and the problems of vehicle emission pollution and traffic congestion are becoming more and more obvious. With the national low-carbon environmental protection policies, green transportation has become the theme of the times. With the continuous development of shared transportation mode and intelligent information technology, the new transportation concept of “Mobility as a Service” based on this technical mode will highly integrate the existing transportation modes and travel services. With the support of MaaS system, people’s travel modes will change greatly. Starting with the MaaS cooperative dispatching system of railway passenger transport hub, a multiparameter fuzzy neural network control system dispatching algorithm is proposed to better help the modeling of MaaS cooperative dispatching system of railway passenger transport hub.

Abstract:
Information Technology plays a significant role in the administration and operation of most organisations today. This is certainly the case with each of the Australian Ambulance Services. With the rapid increase in the use of Information Technology and the expectation about its use by both staff and the general public, the Ambulance Service managements' are faced with the dilemma of trying to ensure that their organisations are able to get the full advantage of advances in Information Technology and at the same time ensure that investments in IT are maintained at appropriate levels that will ensure the maximum return on the investment in terms of the Ambulance Service achieving its mission and objectives. The research considers three questions: How are IT investment decisions determined? How are levels of IT investments determined? Do IT investments contribute to the organisation's overall effectiveness? The general feeling by the ambulance service CEOs is that the investment in IT has been worthwhile in terms of contributing to the organisation being more effective. These findings are contrary to a study by United Research/Business Week and described by LaPlante (1988) where less than half of CEOs surveyed felt that their organisation did an excellent job of linking computer strategy to corporate goals.

Abstract:
In public safety, geography plays a significant role. One of the most important front-line elements of public safety is an efficient emergency transport and care system. The capacity to access and process information rapidly and organize resources where needed can be critically important in an emergency situation. Information about the locality of an event or a disaster is often vital in knowing how to respond. A significant operation in handling emergency situations is the routing of ambulances to incident sites and then to the closest appropriate hospitals. One of the important steps to survival in an emergency is quick response time. The aim of this thesis study is to build an immediate, rapid and efficient emergency medical transport system prototype, called Ambulance Routing Service Application Prototype (ARSAP), to be used in Middle East Technical University (METU) Emergency Service, Ankara, Turkey. In the study, geographical information systems (GIS) technology is used in assisting the development and implementation of an emergency medical service (EMS) response system. In this prototype, while choosing a proper facility, the available quantity of beds, respiratory equipments and doctors in a hospital'
s intensive care room and the best traffic routes to the hospital in hand are also considered. The ARSAP is expected to shorten the commuting time and hence to reduce the damage to the patient to the lowest level and allow the ambulance staff to perform their task better. The results generated using the ARSAP are validated and analyzed by comparing with currently practiced emergency call paths data collected with the help of METU Emergency Service ambulance drivers.

Abstract:
The objective of this work was to discover key topics latent in free text dispatcher observations registered during emergency medical calls. We used a total of 1374931 independent retrospective cases from the Valencian emergency medical dispatch service in Spain, from 2014 to 2019. Text fields were preprocessed to reduce vocabulary size and filter noise, removing accent and punctuation marks, along with uninformative and infrequent words. Key topics were inferred from the multinomial probabilities over words conditioned on each topic from a Latent Dirichlet Allocation model, trained following an online mini-batch variational approach. The optimal number of topics was set analyzing the values of a topic coherence measure, based on the normalized pointwise mutual information, across multiple validation K-folds. Our results support the presence of 15 key topics latent in free text dispatcher observations, related with: ambulance request; chest pain and heart attack; respiratory distress; head falls and blows; fever, chills, vomiting and diarrhea; heart failure; syncope; limb injuries; public service body request; thoracic and abdominal pain; stroke and blood pressure abnormalities; pill intake; diabetes; bleeding; consciousness. The discovery of these topics implies the automatic characterization of a huge volume of complex unstructured data containing relevant information linked to emergency medical call incidents. Hence, results from this work could lead to the update of structured emergency triage algorithms to directly include this latent information in the triage process, resulting in a positive impact in patient wellbeing and health services sustainability.
