Excerpt from Emergency Ambulance Service and 911: Oversight Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Fiscal Affairs and Health of the Committee on the District of Columbia, House of Representatives, One Hundredth Congress, First Session August 5, 1987 Recent media accounts of the District of Columbia's emergency response system have given rise to many outside concerns. A good deal of media attention directed toward the District of Columbia's emergency response system has centered around the emergency ambulance service (911). On August 5, 1987, the Fiscal Affairs and Health Subcommittee held an oversight hearing on Emergency Ambulance Service and 911. Testimony was received from Members of the U.S. House of Representatives and city officials of the District of Columbia. In considering the question of the quality and the efficiency of the emergency response system in the District of Columbia, the subcommittee made every attempt to determine whether or not the District of Columbia's emergency system is different from or burdened by problems not found in other jurisdictions. The lead witness, Mr. Thomas M. Downs, then city administrator and deputy mayor for operations of the District of Columbia, testified that nearly half of the calls received on the District's 911 number were of a nonemergency nature, and that this situation existed before the implementation of the 8DC-HELP system. (The 8DC-HELP system is an alternative number for nonemergency service.) If the 911 system receives a call that does not require the immediate dispatch of a police, fire or ambulance vehicle, the 911 operator transfers the call to "8DC-HELP." Similarly, if "8DC-HELP" receives a call that represents a true emergency, it will immediately transfer the call to 911. As far as can be ascertained, the District is the only jurisdiction in the Nation that has come up with a viable alternative number to 911 for citizens to call in nonemergency situations. In June 1987, the District government's productivity management staff conducted a survey of the thirty (30) most populated U.S. cities, in addition to metropolitan area jurisdictions. The survey consisted of 21 detailed questions directed at response time, incident volume, resources, and operations. While not a scientific study on which definite resource allocations or operational decisions should be drawn, the study was sufficiently structured to allow comparison. The District ranked: 1. - 9th among 29 cities in response time. Ambulance response time has a variety of components that contribute to the time it takes to respond to an emergency medical situation. Most jurisdictions start the clock when the ambulance is dispatched and stop the clock when the ambulance arrives at the scene. For the purpose of this survey, response time refers to the time measured from dispatch to ambulance arrival on the scene. 2. - 2d highest among 30 cities in the number of ambulance incidents per 10,000 population. D.C.'s rate of 1,649 incidents per 10,000 population was almost double the city average of 870 incidents. Only St. Louis ranked higher with a rate of 1,700.

This volume provides fresh insights and management understanding of the changing role of the ambulance services against the backdrop of massive cuts in health budgets around the world and the changing context of pre-hospital care within the wider healthcare networks. The challenges of funding, training and cultural transformation are now felt globally. The need to learn and adapt from suitable models of ambulance service delivery have never been greater. The book offers critical insights into the theory and practice of strategic and operational management of ambulance services and the leadership needs for the service. One of the highlight of this volume is to bring together scholarship using experts- academics, practitioners and professionals in the field, to each of the chosen topics. The chapters are based in the practical experiences of the authors and are written in a way that is accessible and suitable for a range of audiences. We are confident that this book will cater to a wider audience to inform policy and practice, both in the UK and internationally. Paresh Wankhade is Professor of Leadership and Management at Edge Hill University, UK Kevin Mackway-Jones is the Medical Director at North West Ambulance Service NHS Trust, UK Endorsements “This unique and valuable publication, charts the history and development of the ambulance service in England over the last hundred years or so. The role of this key emergency service has always been important, and arguably never more so than today. The contributing authors have not only provided the reader with great insights into where the service has come from and the leadership challenges it has, and continues to face; it also gives examples of how the future could look as our journey of transformation continues.” Peter Bradley CBE, MBA (and author of Taking Healthcare to the Patient 2005), Chief Executive Officer. St John National Headquarters, New Zealand "With a year on year increase in demand for emergency ambulances and over 9 million calls annually, the UK Ambulance Service must change from its emergency care and transport focus model. With the increase in professionalism of paramedics and an uplift in assessment and clinical skills the modern paramedic is increasingly able to treat at home, direct patients with alternative care pathways and avoid transportation to overburdened Emergency Departments. Whilst there is some historical and cultural resistance to change there is a need for further development in clinical skills and a new perspective for the future Ambulance Service. This book brings together practitioners, managers, academics and provides a broad understanding of the major management issues in the UK Ambulance Service. It includes the history of the Ambulance Service, quality and risk management issues, commissioning, leadership, intra-operability and shape of the future ambulance service. The content will be of interest to students, practitioners and academics". Sir Keith Porter, Professor of Clinical Traumatology, University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust, United Kingdom
