    Estimating emergency transportation demand requires matching service levels to patient severity. Five key variables accurately predict over 90% of emergency transport calls, aiding future planning.

    Area of Science:

    • Emergency Medical Services
    • Health Services Research
    • Transportation Planning

    Background:

    • Current emergency transportation services face increasing demand.
    • Accurate estimation of demand is crucial for resource allocation and service optimization.
    • Understanding utilization patterns is key to improving efficiency.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To estimate current and future demands for emergency transportation services.
    • To define correct and incorrect utilization based on response levels and severity.
    • To develop predictive models for future demand.

    Main Methods:

    • Defined correct/incorrect utilization by matching response types (MICU, BEA, etc.) to severity levels (Life-threat, Urgent, etc.).
    • Calculated demand and need using data from emergency facilities.

  • Developed multiple regression models to estimate future demand, validated with rural county data.

    • Main Results:

    • Five significant variables were identified as key predictors of demand.
    • These variables explained over 90% of the variation in the number of emergency transportation calls.
    • Predictive equations were developed using these variables.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed models provide a robust method for estimating emergency transportation demand.
    • Accurate demand prediction can lead to improved resource allocation and service delivery.
    • Identifying key predictive variables enhances the efficiency of emergency medical services.
