| Summary: | Emergency response time reporting requires data provided by multiple systems. Whenever more than one system produces a time stamp, issues of time synchronization across systems manifest. As emergency response time targets are often short (8 minutes or less) and critical to public perceptions of service, errors in reporting these times are unacceptable. This article seeks to quantify the probability and magnitude of such errors through an empirical study of one emergency medical dispatch system. |
