Advanced Medical Priority Dispatch System (AMPDS)

The Advanced Medical Priority Dispatch System (AMPDS) is a structured system used by emergency dispatchers to assess and prioritize medical emergencies when people call for help. It uses a series of standardized questions to quickly identify the severity of the situation, ensuring that the most critical cases receive immediate attention. This process helps dispatchers provide effective guidance to callers while swiftly allocating appropriate medical resources to those in need, ultimately improving patient outcomes in emergencies. By triaging calls efficiently, AMPDS enhances the overall effectiveness of emergency medical services.
