The ambulance services play an important role in the hospital management. They are an important part of the health care industry. The ambulance services are however obstructed by the ever increasing traffic congestion which causes delays to the ambulances either in reaching the patients or safely commuting them to the hospital. Due to such delays, the ambulances reach the hospitals after the 'golden hour' which delays the patient handover to the hospital by the ambulance and thereby increases the chances of mortality in the patient. The paper suggests a very simple and a nontechnical concept of an 'Escorting Ambulance' so as to minimize the traffic congestion experienced by the ambulance. The concept is a non-technical concept and hence easy to implement.

Abstract


The ambulance services play an important role in the hospital management. They are an important part of the health care industry. The ambulance services are however obstructed by the ever increasing traffic congestion which causes delays to the ambulances either in reaching the patients or safely commuting them to the hospital. Due to such delays, the ambulances reach the hospitals after the 'golden hour' which delays the patient handover to the hospital by the ambulance and thereby increases the chances of mortality in the patient. The paper suggests a very simple and a nontechnical concept of an 'Escorting Ambulance' so as to minimize the traffic congestion experienced by the ambulance. The concept is a non-technical concept and hence easy to implement.
