Study of emergency call handling quality
This study looks at how well emergency dispatch centers handle incoming calls. Researchers want to understand call quality when handled by professional dispatchers and exclude calls that are not real emergencies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- The call must be handled by a professional emergency dispatcher.
- Calls handled by medical students or trainees are not eligible.
- The severity code assigned to the call must be based on a real emergency (not unfounded).
