Mutual Aid
The report found that the EMS response via mutual aid was not well coordinated, resulting in a duplication of effort. In one instance, a mutual aid ambulance was dispatched to a medical emergency only to arrive on scene and find the patient had been transported 20 minutes earlier by another ambulance. The recommendation was that a method should be developed that allows for tracking of resources better including personnel. The plan should be trained and exercised. [12] | | | | |
