Examining time-to-transport decisions in Emergency Medical Services by Hassan Farhat (9000509)

“…As the time spent on scene increases (due to various reasons, among them: spending more time providing clinical treatment and health education because the patient decided not to go to the hospital, or the crew spending more time convincing the patient to go to the hospital by explaining the potential complications of their condition and the potential outcomes of a refusal to go to hospital), the probability of transporting the patient decreases. This trend suggests that extended time could adversely affect patient care if they eventually need to recall for an ambulance. …”
