Improve response times and patient outcomesGood communication is vital in the pressurised environment of ambulance services. Ambulance management solutions help communicate key information to all stakeholders, reducing misunderstandings and improving safety and patient outcomes.
When mobilising resources to meet response targets and improve patient outcomes, ambulance service organisations are attempting to balance the safety of staff against the requirement to rapidly make decisions on how resources should be deployed.
Ensuring the safety of staff and making the best decisions is best achieved by connecting people and vehicles at every step along their journey. Our solutions help ensure there are no misunderstandings, that information is clear and that paramedics are safe throughout the connected journey.
Trapeze connects the vehicle paramedic, control centre and hospital through its MDT in-vehicle hardware, solution, communications interfaces and advanced dashboards. All ambulance service stakeholders are connected at each stage of the journey, by providing access to the critical information they need when they need it. The ambulance management solution helps you improve patient response times, enhance patient outcomes and helps ensure paramedics’ safety. Trapeze’s reliable, robust solution helps ambulance services collect and deliver vital information to all stakeholders at each stage of the journey, ensuring:

Improved vehicle maintenance
Knowing detailed information about each vehicle and its time on the road allows you to maximise your available fleet.
Know how fast it has travelled, how many kilometres, and track vehicle data such as if break pads need changing.
Know issues that need dealing with so you can ensure you are ready for the next call out
Business analysis and improvement
Know all key information relating to response times and more, so you can see where the issues are
and address them
-See response times, outcomes,
and illnesses by geography
-Improve training and compare with targets
With so many different people involved in the critical outcome of the patient, it’s important that everyone has access to the information and communications they
need along the patient’s journey. This is how we help different stakeholders throughout the journey.
