| | The Moscow ambulance in terms of the aggregate of all performance indices is in second place. We have before us only Berlin, after us New York, - Interfax reports with reference to Monisha Arora, director of PwC practice in the public sector in the field of health. | |
Ambulance work was assessed according to several criteria: speed, equipment and patient satisfaction. In terms of speed, Moscow is only in sixth place, in terms of equipment - in third, and in terms of satisfaction - in second.
The average time for registering an appeal to a Moscow ambulance was one minute 42 seconds - this is the second most efficient indicator among megacities in the world. From registration to departure of the brigade, on average, only two and a half minutes pass - none of the 15 cities have such results. A Moscow ambulance arrives in an average of 14 and a half minutes.
In terms of the number of brigades per 100 thousand inhabitants, the capital's ambulance is in second place. For this number of people in the city there are 8.2 brigades. London is in first place in this indicator (38.1). In third, fourth and fifth places are Hong Kong, Shanghai and Tokyo with indicators of 5.2, 3.3 and 1.8, respectively.

2017: Americans prefer Uber over NSR
At the end of December 2017, Futurism published a study in the field of health economics. It is known that in the United States, calling an ambulance for admission to the hospital in an emergency can cost more than $1000, so many people call a taxi instead of an ambulance through the Uber application.
The study looks at the impact of the new factor on ambulance call rates in 766 cities from 43 states that use Uber. According to the survey results, even according to the minimum calculations in these cities, people are 7% less likely to call an ambulance.
| | "I believe this is a good trend, since such a function reduces health care costs if used wisely," said David Slusky, associate professor of economics at the University of Kansas. | |
According to him, it is imperative that people do not use a taxi as a makeshift ambulance in dangerous and emergency situations. In some cases, it really makes sense to save money, but in other situations, such a strategy may be ineffective or even life-threatening.
| | For example, you may get to the wrong hospital, "warns the chief physician of the Los Angeles Fire Department, Marc Eckstein. | |
Hospitals differ in a set of services, and a patient who has applied to the wrong address will still be sent to the desired hospital by ambulance. But a difference of 30 minutes or more can mean the difference between life and death, Eckstein noted.
David Slusky says unloading ambulances provides a quicker response to serious cases. The researcher believes that informing patients about symptoms requiring an immediate ambulance call, as well as an effective triage method before hospitalization begins, can help modernize emergency care.[5]
