Simcoe Paramedic Services Deployment Review
ORH recently completed a Comprehensive Deployment Review for the County of Simcoe Paramedic Services (CSPS) in Ontario, Canada. CSPS employs over 300 staff who respond out of 17 stations and satellite points to a population of 465,000. The review involved the development of a 10-year operational master plan and the provision of a simulation modelling tool for CSPS to use in-house. ORH determined that, moving forward with the optimal 23-site configuration, a 38% increase in vehicle hours would be required to maintain current performance levels by 2024. Modelling showed that the recommended set of station locations would allow staff and vehicle resources to be used more efficiently. The full case study can be read here.
