Innovative Location Optimization for Rescue and Emergency Medical Services Adapting to a Dynamic Environment by Dirk Degel Pdf

Die effiziente und nachhaltige Ausgestaltung der rettungsdienstlichen Infrastruktur zur Sicherstellung einer hohen kommunalen Versorgungsqualität stellt eine komplexe Planungsaufgabe dar. Insbesondere Fragestellungen der Standortplanung für Rettungswachen und Rettungsmittel (z.B. RTWs) sind in einem dynamischen und durch Unsicherheit geprägten Umfeld für die rechtzeitige Versorgung in Notfallsituationen von entscheidender Bedeutung. In dieser Arbeit werden innovative Optimierungsmodelle vorgestellt, die einerseits optimale Standortentscheidung für Rettungsmittel auf einer taktischen Ebene unter Berücksichtigung dynamischer Umwelteinflüsse und unsicherer Nachfrage bestimmen. Andererseits wird die strategische Systemanpassung und Weiterentwicklung einer rettungsdienstlichen Infrastruktur unter Berücksichtigung unsicherer zukünftiger Entwicklungen bestimmt. Hierzu wird auf Methoden des Operations Research und insbesondere der robusten Optimierung zurückgegriffen. Die vorgestellten Modelle erlauben die Analyse komplexer Entscheidungssituationen sowie die Bestimmung optimaler Handlungsalternativen. Hierdurch wird eine effektive Entscheidungsunterstützung zur Planung der kommunalen Notfallversorgung gegeben.

Emergency Medical Services by Institute of Medicine,Board on Health Care Services,Committee on the Future of Emergency Care in the United States Health System Pdf

Emergency Medical Services (EMS) is a critical component of our nation's emergency and trauma care system, providing response and medical transport to millions of sick and injured Americans each year. At its best, EMS is a crucial link to survival in the chain of care, but within the last several years, complex problems facing the emergency care system have emerged. Press coverage has highlighted instances of slow EMS response times, ambulance diversions, trauma center closures, and ground and air medical crashes. This heightened public awareness of problems that have been building over time has underscored the need for a review of the U.S. emergency care system. Emergency Medical Services provides the first comprehensive study on this topic. This new book examines the operational structure of EMS by presenting an in-depth analysis of the current organization, delivery, and financing of these types of services and systems. By addressing its strengths, limitations, and future challenges this book draws upon a range of concerns: • The evolving role of EMS as an integral component of the overall health care system. • EMS system planning, preparedness, and coordination at the federal, state, and local levels. • EMS funding and infrastructure investments. • EMS workforce trends and professional education. • EMS research priorities and funding. Emergency Medical Services is one of three books in the Future of Emergency Care series. This book will be of particular interest to emergency care providers, professional organizations, and policy makers looking to address the deficiencies in emergency care systems.

Strategies to Improve Cardiac Arrest Survival by Institute of Medicine,Board on Health Sciences Policy,Committee on the Treatment of Cardiac Arrest: Current Status and Future Directions Pdf

Cardiac arrest can strike a seemingly healthy individual of any age, race, ethnicity, or gender at any time in any location, often without warning. Cardiac arrest is the third leading cause of death in the United States, following cancer and heart disease. Four out of five cardiac arrests occur in the home, and more than 90 percent of individuals with cardiac arrest die before reaching the hospital. First and foremost, cardiac arrest treatment is a community issue - local resources and personnel must provide appropriate, high-quality care to save the life of a community member. Time between onset of arrest and provision of care is fundamental, and shortening this time is one of the best ways to reduce the risk of death and disability from cardiac arrest. Specific actions can be implemented now to decrease this time, and recent advances in science could lead to new discoveries in the causes of, and treatments for, cardiac arrest. However, specific barriers must first be addressed. Strategies to Improve Cardiac Arrest Survival examines the complete system of response to cardiac arrest in the United States and identifies opportunities within existing and new treatments, strategies, and research that promise to improve the survival and recovery of patients. The recommendations of Strategies to Improve Cardiac Arrest Survival provide high-priority actions to advance the field as a whole. This report will help citizens, government agencies, and private industry to improve health outcomes from sudden cardiac arrest across the United States.

Operations Research and Health Care Policy by Gregory S. Zaric Pdf

Operations research tools are ideally suited to providing solutions and insights for the many problems health policy-maker's face. Indeed, a growing body of literature on health policy analysis, based on operations research methods, has emerged to address the problems mentioned above and several others. The research in this field is often multi-disciplinary, being conducted by teams that include not only operations researchers but also clinicians, economists and policy analysts. The research is also often very applied, focusing on a specific question driven by a decision-maker and many times yielding a tool to assist in future decisions. The goal of this volume was to bring together a group of papers by leading experts that could showcase the current state of the field of operations research applied to health-care policy. There are 18 chapters that illustrate the breadth of this field. The chapters use a variety of techniques, including classical operations research tools, such as optimization, queuing theory, and discrete event simulation, as well as statistics, epidemic models and decision-analytic models. The book spans the field and includes work that ranges from highly conceptual to highly applied. An example of the former is the chapter by Kimmel and Schackman on building policy models, and an example of the latter is the chapter by Coyle and colleagues on developing a Markov model for use by an organization in Ontario that makes recommendations about the funding of new drugs. The book also includes a mix of review chapters, such as the chapter by Hutton on public health response to influenza outbreaks, and original research, such as the paper by Blake and colleagues analyzing a decision by Canadian Blood Services to consolidate services. This volume could provide an excellent introduction to the field of operations research applied to health-care policy, and it could also serve as an introduction to new areas for researchers already familiar with the topic. The book is divided into six sections. The first section contains two chapters that describe several different applications of operations research in health policy and provide an excellent overview of the field. Sections 2 to 4 present policy models in three focused areas. Section 5 contains two chapters on conceptualizing and building policy models. The book concludes in Section 6 with two chapters describing work that was done with policy-makers and presenting insights gained from working directly with policy-makers.
