Transport units are stuck at the ED while first responders are stuck on scene … response times are creeping up and the only idea anyone has is to increase unit hours. But how? Recruiting is bad and retention is worse. You’re already offering incentive pay but crews are burnt out.

Organizations that are stuck using yesterday’s “demand analysis” (counting calls per hour) are getting left behind … but it doesn’t have to be like this.

Join us for a demonstration of future readiness modeling using optimal deployment science (ODS).

On Tuesday, May 17, at 1 p.m. CT, Brandt VX’s Joshua Brandt, PSAP Administrator Joseph Elliott and Alameda County EMS’s Carolina Snypes will present “ODS: Optimizing readiness for system sustainability.”

Participants will leave with an understanding of:

  • How to predict future resource utilization
  • When resource availability drives performance (…and when it doesn’t!)
  • Sustainable schedules, proven by NASA
  • The roll that revenue plays in readiness modeling, and
  • The big lie behind EMS finance

Presented by Fitch & Associates, this Pinnacle Webinar is sponsored by Brandt VX.

The Pinnacle Webinar Series is produced in cooperation with Pinnacle Media Partner EMS1. Ninth Brain is Fitch & Associates’ Learning Partner.
