Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Tiered-Response Framework - Creating an eco-system of faster response to medical emergencies
This presentation provides an overview of SCDF’s EMS Tiered-Response Framework, and how the response of emergency resources is prioritised in accordance with case severity. Key aspects of this framework include the introduction of fire appliances to emergency medical response, high-performance CPR, as well as public education efforts to raise public awareness on not calling SCDF for non-emergency cases.
