A study on antenna station location planning of operating medical information digital transmission system for third-order ambulance transportation activity

Abstract

 Recently, ambulance transportation and the emergency medical treatment activity have several major problems, for example nationwide doctor shortage, an increase of refusal frequency of ambulance transportation patients, an increase of arrival time from the fire station to the emergency hospital. In this study, an antenna station location model for the medical information digital transmission system was developed, considering the enhanced pre-hospital care which is greatly influencing the recovery rate of patients after it had been hospitalized. Then, the model was applied to Komatsu City, Ishikawa Prefecture. As a result, the effectiveness of the system was found by calculating the amount of human loss by introducing this system.
