Analyzing emergency medical services at Batman city

Abstract

In this study, data from Batman city ambulance system are taken and categorized according to ambulance groups, regions, types of illness and rural and urban areas. Response time of each ambulance group is found to compare groups within each other. Locations of hospitals and ambulance stations are analyzed whether they are at suitable places or not. Graphical and statistical models such as ANOVA are used to check the validity of data and to get some results. The current ambulance performance system shown in Appendix section is criticized based on the findings from that study. It is found that the number of ambulances is not enough for Batman city and their locations is to be redesigned according to management objectives. Ambulances can be grouped as rural and urban ambulances and some ambulances are to be located in rural areas in defined places. All hospitals are mainly located at city centre and it takes long time to reach to some cases’ locations in the city. New hospitals or branch of hospitals are to be opened in some areas of city with most urgent cases. © W. S. Maney & Son Ltd 2015.
