ambulance

It looks like this product introduces an extra delay before an ambulance is called - terrible idea.

If a patient is clutching their chest, we're calling our ambulance service, not doing an EKG.

Say; if Call9 connected directly with an Ambulance company that is running a Home Visit Program (HVP) ie.

Why not dispatch the ambulance as soon as the call is received, and call it back a few seconds later if the doctor determines it's not an emergency?

How can you claim to get an ambulance to the scene faster than 911 (on a practical scale)?

This is blocking an ambulance level of dickery here sorry and there is no way around it.

In cases of cardiac arrest, you're going to typically want more than an EMT and a medic on an ambulance.

Actually, from my understanding, this is more like an ER doctor acting as the ambulance dispatcher.

The last accident with a family member of mine had very competent ambulance and team get to use within 5-10 minutes.

When Call9 has a private transport arranged by the ambulance service, whose medical license do the EMTs and paramedics operate under?

All the next steps (dispatching an actual ambulance) are exactly the same in the Call 9 model and the traditional 911 model.

If the patient needs an ambulance, the Call9 doctor can easily order one.

"Ambulance Co B, respond in place of Ambulance Co A, no units available".

And your service doesn't cut that to zero by virtue of "we have a dedicated line to an ambulance service".

You say things like "The ambulance dispatcher knows our location" - you mean, the location of all the facilities you service" (which isn't a stretch, most EMTs could probably recite the street address of every nursing home in their service area in their sleep).

"Code Blue, Ambulance, Bed A3, 4 minutes out." RT, IV, pharmacy, imaging, are all ready.

Ambulance companies are private in the USA.
