摘要: Response time (RT) has been liberally used as a process indicator to assess emergency medical services (EMS) performance around the world. It is objective, quantifiable, and easily understood by public policymakers alike. However, its correlation better patient outcome yet be established. The evidence supporting value of using RT mostly lacking little existing conflicting. There concern that notion dominating professional culture ambulance providers. Quality care becoming secondary target RT. Solutions shorten have prohibitive costs risk safety patients, attending crew public. consider main standard for EMS in order meet expectation accountability openness.
