Frazer LTD, a builder of traditional EMS modules, showcased an innovative, mobile clinic concept at the 2013 EMS World ExpoThe community discussion on mobile integrated healthcare continued within the lecture halls and trade show floor of the 2013 EMS World Convention. Frazer LTD, a builder of traditional EMS modules, showcased an innovative, mobile clinic concept. Departing from the practice of retrofiitng an existing ambulance box, or a larger, expensive recreational vehicle, Frazer’s concept is to create a cost-effective footprint that is highly flexible and fits the need of the service being provided. This results in a surprisingly spacious interior, where there were two distinct patient treatment areas, PLentiful light and HVAC systems create a safe operating environment for the team who might evaluate a wide variety of nonurgent patients.

With a flexible design, the unit could be configured as a mobile command post that is smaller and less expensive than a large RV, yet be still self powered and not need to be towed.
