| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 商學研究所 === 101 === Motive： Previous studies on Emergency Medical Service System did not show the evaluation on Demand for Advanced Life Support in New Taipei City.
Objectives： To evaluate Demand for Advanced Life Support in New Taipei City.
Methods： A retrospective analysis of the EMS records of New Taipei City Fire Department from January 2010 to December 2011 was conducted. Retrospective ALS demand criteria, including the chief complaints, mechanisms of injury/illness, initial vital signs and types of rendered.Using the Chi-square test to check whether there are sufficient evidence indicate that ALS demand is independent of quarters、weekdays/weekend、hours and Response Time per unit.
Results：There are 29 units in New Taipei City. 19 uints have sufficient evidence indicate that ALS demand is dependent of years, 18 uints have sufficient evidence indicate that ALS demand is dependent of quarters, and 2 uints have sufficient evidence indicate that ALS demand is dependent of hours.There are 25 uints which have sufficient evidence indicate that ALS demand is independent of weekdays/weekend, and 20 uints have sufficient evidence indicate that ALS demand is independent of Response Time.
Conclusion：Either the ratio or the growth rate of ALS demand is higher than those of Taipei City. Also, the test result of Response Time suggests that there might be 20 units providing the same service despite case levels. Somehow, there might be slighty mismatch due to the difference of screening criteria, sampling methods and incomplete data compared to those previous studies. However, we still suggest to conducted Two-tiered EMS System in New Taipei City.
