Follow on Google News | Elite Medical Transport Ambulance Service Gains PraiseThe El Paso Fire Department and Elite Medical Transport Highlight Ambulance Response Times and Contract Compliance.
By: Chris Webb “The integrated system between the Fire Department and a private ambulance company is a rare partnership in Texas that allows for the timely transport of non-critical patients to their hospital of choice while providing for greater availability of the City’s Advanced Life Support units to service those in need of life saving interventions” El Paso fire officials note their new partnership works efficiently and cited the many stringent controls that were written into its contract as one assurance that ambulance response times will continue to exceed expectations. The integration of Elite Medical Transport ambulances and El Paso Fire Department first responder fire engines has worked well and company officials believe the system could serve as a model for other emergency services contracts. With that initial success, Elite Medical Transport is continually improving its ambulance service on an almost daily basis. The average response time for Elite Medical Transport ambulances was 8 minutes, 48 seconds for the month of October, well under the required response time of 15 minutes. El Paso fire engines are dispatched to all EMS calls and Elite Medical Transport ambulances are directly dispatched from the Fire Department’s Regional Dispatch Center, if needed. “We are proud to be a part of something groundbreaking for the region, to develop this system with a partner like the El Paso Fire Department is phenomenal, Shabkie further added.
