Implementation of autonomous decision protocols for emergency medical dispatchers: caller satisfaction survey and evolution of practices
The findings suggest that ADPs improved efficiency by providing standardized medical advice, reducing unnecessary ambulance dispatches, and saving medical resources. Callers who benefited from ADPs were generally satisfied with the service, with satisfaction rates comparable to those found in international studies. Expanding ADPs to cover additional medical conditions could further enhance emergency dispatch systems, especially in light of increasing demand and reduced medical resources.
