How Operational Research Helps Ambulances Reach Patients Faster

Описание: Medical emergencies are unpredictable. People can fall seriously ill or be involved in accidents at any time and in any place. Yet the NHS aims to reach the most critical patients within 20 minutes.

This explains how Operational Research helps make that possible. Using probability, simulation, and optimisation, analysts can plan where ambulance stations should be placed, how many teams are needed, and how to respond to changing demand.

These methods have been used across the UK to decide how ambulances are distributed. Current research is now focused on real time decision making, such as choosing which ambulance to send, adjusting routes based on traffic, and directing patients to hospitals that are less busy to improve outcomes.
