The location of the ambulance is the major factor affecting the rapid arrival of emergent medical staffs. In order to understand the efficiency of an ambulance arriving at an emergent scene, we analyze the location of current fire departments facilitated with ambulances.
In this study, we analyze the fire departments locations at Sanchi and Tamsui and we reviewed the emergent ambulance dispatch events. Applying GIS technique revealed frequent occurrence of fire departments dispatching ambulances to the region out of the district. With the development of Tamsui New City, there will be increasing number of papulation and booming economic activity in the near future. The local government has designed the location for the fire department in this area. In this study, we stimulated the future operation condition for the fire department in this location. In addition, we reviewed the current number of emergent events that activate the ambulance dispatch to evaluate whether it is appropriate to allocated the fire department to this area.
With the assistance of GIS technique, we found that currently in Sanchi district, the local fire department dispatches ambulances for most emergent events, which is 20.72% of the total events in New Taipei City area but in Tamsui district, the department only dispatches for 1.22% of the total events.
In our study, in Tamsui New City, we compared the amounts of emergent medical events that will active ambulance dispatch by the future fire department in this planned location with those by the optimal location we indicated. Then difference of the ambulance dispatch events from these two locations is estimated as high as 20% of the total numbers in New Taipei City. Our study provided further information for not only the public awareness but also the government to make evidence-based policy decision.
