The Old Way: Manual Dispatching makes Things Slow Down
In conventional ambulance services and medical transportation, the dispatching was at times done manually. A phone call-in would arrive, a person sitting at a desk would record the information and then attempt to dispatch a driver-usually with little idea of:
- The very nearest vehicle was where
- Traffic or slow downs
- Peculiarities of patients and their needs
- Wait and arrival times Estimates
The result? Miscommunication, skipping appointments, waiting time and waste of resources. The antique approach merely cannot serve the needs of contemporary healthcare.
Welcome Smart Dispatch Technology
Infina Health has put money in smart dispatching methodologies that automatize, streamline and optimize the whole process, starting with the moment when a ride is planned to the time when the patient is securely left. In our technology, there is a mixture of:
- Live GPS monitoring
- Automatic vehicle-assigning algorithms
- Cell phone driver applications
- Online orders and bookings of rides
- Analysis of traffic pattern
- Communication of electronic patient information
Let us simplify the difference that this tech can bring.
- Faster Assignments via Real Time Vehicle Tracking
Our dispatchers are in possession of the live map that allows them to see the current location of all Infina Health vehicles. This implies that they will be able to observe instantly:
- What cars are offered
- Who is most nearby to the pickup?
- Traffic, or road conditions that could have timing effects
- Extra equipment within each unit (i.e. wheelchair access, bariatric stretchers)
The resulting live GPS visibility enables the dispatcher to allocate the most qualifying and nearest vehicle in seconds and not minutes.
- Smart Routing to On Time Arrivals
Our system does not only understand the location of our cars, but how to make them reach the destination quickly. Based on smart routing characteristics, which are based on analysis of:
- Traffic in real-time state
- Construction delays
- Road closures
- Weather patterns
It automatically recommends the quickest, safest means of commute in every journey. This is particularly crucial in cases that require promptness such as dialysis schedule, disposition of patients in hospitals or inter-facility transfers.
- Automated Dispatch Assignments: Not Guess Work
Our dispatch system uses high-performing algorithms and can automatically match trips to the correct vehicle with the correct timing and ability. It takes into consideration:
- The availability and driver schedules
- The type of vehicle and equipment
- Special needs or level of mobility of the patient
- Destination and urgency of trips
This implies reduced instances of human errors and more organization of resources on all fronts.
- Patient and Provider Digital Scheduling
Our online service portal or a mobile program allows patients, families, case managers, and healthcare facilities to book transport instead of sitting waiting on the phone. The system gives:
- Immediate reservations
- Real-time ETAs
- Notifies of problems when the vehicle is on the way or late
- Online ride history and logs
This keeps the patients in the know, and most importantly the no-shows are minimized or even eliminated, confusion or duplicate appointments.
- Personalization and Safety of Patients
The next step is to remember the patient-specific needs in every delivery which is one of the most important features of our dispatch system. This includes:
- Medical condition Use of wheelchair or stretcher etc.
- Bariatric transport requirement
- Oxygen or consultative help Instructions on pick up/drop off
This data is safely filed and transmitted to the mobile device of the intended driver, thus, the latter is more than ready to address the needs of the patient when he or she arrives.
- Data Tips and Performance Reporting
As every data about the trip is saved and analyzed, Infina Health may constantly enhance services. We monitor such things as:
- Means response and arrival time
- Arrival rates
- On-time performance rates
- Cancelling or no-trip pickups
- Staff and car use
- Territorial patterns of service
This enables us to know the trends, rectify bottlenecks, and be able to increase our pace and quality of service delivery constantly.
Real Life Impact: Tech Ahead Of Patient Care
That is how our dispatch service provides real result:
Fewer Waiting Times
Due to smart vehicle assignments and routing, we have become able to perform the majority of our pickups in the period of 15 30 minutes compared to the traditional systems requiring 45+ minutes.
Bigger Reliability
Patients arrive at critical appointments, such as chemotherapy, dialysis and follow-ups, on-time and unpreoccupied with delays.
Greater Emergency
Preparedness In case of late-arrival or out-of-service in a vehicle, the system immediately relocates or dispatches the trip- without service outages.
Improved Delays of Discharge in Hospital
During hospital bed over-utilization when a patient has to leave the hospital, our system can send out the nearest available unit in real time to facilitate transitions and remove open beds.
Why Technology is More Essential than Before in Medical Transport
Technology is not a choice in an era where the patients wish to be convenient, healthcare providers need to be efficient, and safety is a must. As health care is getting faster and further, finding the medicine transport organized correctly is an integration of patient care. Our dispatch apparatus guarantees that Infina Health is able to:
- Treat more patients within a desirable period of time.
- Minimize the delays and enhance outcomes
- Make available information in a transparent, real time manner.
- React swiftly to dynamic situation.
- Provide care of the high level consistently
