Industrial Systems Engineering students used a systems approach to identify opportunities for increased operational efficiencies and coordination between the 12 Emergency Medical Services (EMS) providers in Jefferson County. Students recommended interventions such as a roving paramedic position or shared secondary ambulances as cost-effective strategies to save costs while maintaining response times and expanding 24/7 paramedic-level care to all county residents.
