IMAGETREND COLLABORATE QUICK FACTS

The Collaborate Quick Facts are designed to provide rapid insights and awareness of key topics that relates to patient care, crew safety and operations management in the prehospital setting. These reports are supplemental information to inspire departments and others in the industry to evaluate their own data and how they compare against national data trends.

Lights and Sirens utilization in the prehospital setting can be one of the most dangerous actions taken during an incident not only to the responding crew, but also to the communities they service. The usage of lights and sirens has a purpose, but the data suggests that the industry overutilizes these modes. National organizations, such as National EMS Quality Alliance (NEMSQA), have established quality measures to monitor the usage and the adoption of dispatch triage systems continue to bring awareness and ensure appropriate response modes based upon patient condition.

The usage of Lights and Sirens in the prehospital setting is made up of two components, Response Mode to Scene (eResponse.24) and Transport Mode from the Scene (eDisposition.18).¹ In this report we look at a variety of data points that focus specifically on the utilization of Lights and Sirens across the nation. A sampling of over 26 million records from 2017 to June 2021 were used in this report.
