Abstract/OtherAbstract:
When it comes to deployment, one size (approach) doesn't fit all. Progressive public safety and EMS systems will recognize that a successful plan can thoughtfully balance system performance and human needs. Inventive people who learned how to do things better, cheaper and faster built America. Providing optimum system coverage, improved response times and quality care for patients fits the same mold. Sophisticated and accountable EMS systems readily accept this as part of their mandate.
