“…The publications that solved the problem of hospital selection considered the following main objectives: To design a method for the optimal allocation of patients in ambulances to hospitals (12,(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28); design a system or model for hospital selection decision-making (10,13,(28)(29)(30); determine the optimal route to the hospital (15,(31)(32)(33)(34)(35); evaluate or determine the effects of the implementation of mobile applications or information systems over the Internet, for hospital selection (36)(37)(38)(39); develop mobile applications or information systems through the Internet for communications, patient transport, and hospital selection (32,33,40,41).…”

“…DES was used to simulate different scenarios. In (24), a discrete-continuous simulation model was designed and implemented through the SIMSCRIPT II.5 software, where they experimented with different hospital allocation policies, considering the emergency severity and metrics such as the use of resources (trauma centers and ambulances) and the mortality rate.…”

Emergency medical service (EMS) systems play a fundamental role in society by providing a vital service in initial emergency care. The purpose of this research is to present the first literature review of hospital selection operational decision within the context of the EMS system. The main findings were the following: The hospital selection problem is integrated with the location, dispatch, routing, and size of the ambulance fleet. The main selection criteria were closeness, hospital care capacities and the shortest queue or greatest number of free beds. The most used performance measures were the shortest transport and waiting time. Solution techniques include discrete event simulation, queuing models, mixed linear integer programming, and CPLEX and Arena software. The application of metaheuristics is scarce; mobile applications and Internet information systems have been implemented for real-time decision making. It is recommended that the design of hospital selection methods be implemented as well as the technological developments, considering the participation of the actors of the EMS system.

We study two different operational scenarios for a regional air ambulance service-company which has bases in northern California. Two of these bases serve the land areas encompassed roughly in a circular area of radius 100 miles centered in Gilroy and Salinas, respectively; with a large part of their coverage areas reachable from either base. The base in Salinas currently operates one helicopter only from Thursday to Monday, whereas the base in Gilroy operates one helicopter 24/7. The company is considering extending the operation of one helicopter to 24/7 for its Salinas base. In this paper we analyze the operational impacts of that extension, and develop a framework that can be applied towards the study of the ambulance assignment problem faced by small operators.
