Focus on Rapid Medical Response to Improve the Quality of Healthcare and Drive the Ambulance Services Market in Europe, According to Frost ...(em - including land- air- and boat-based...),Health

Healthcare authorities are aware of the importance of having a highly developed ambulance service. However, the sector is plagued by complex legislation and regulations at regional levels, usually related to ambulance equipment and staff requirements/training. In addition, advanced technologies such as telemedicine and GIS are dependent on regional regulations, making it harder for their effective integration with ambulances.

"It is important for healthcare systems to focus on providing immediate relief to patients, rather than make changes to regulations," states Frost & Sullivan. "As time is the most important factor in saving a patient's life, incorporating advanced technologies will drastically reduce mortality rates."

For medical device manufacturers, the best way to optimise the ambulance market for their products is to design their products such that they work durably within the rough environment of an ambulance.

"Medical devices are used within the ambulance while it is in motion and hence more emphasis is given to features such as ruggedness, compactness, short start time and easy training," concludes the Frost & Sullivan research. "Equally important is the ability to be hooked to an IT system or telemedicine network."
