Ambulance Vehicle Tracking: Suddenly Very Tech Savvy

By Brad Cohen


As difficult as it may be for the people in the ambulance services world, until recently, there were no dedicated ambulance GPS systems. And ambulance vehicle tracking was largely done off line.

In fact a whopping 67% of all ambulances on the roads today are not loaded with fractional mileage odometers.

That meant that the ambulance services companies had no way to get laser-accurate information on where the ambulances where and who that billing could be attributed to. Think about that for a moment. As the economy continues to put pressure on more and more companies to watch each penny spent and what that penny meant to the bottom line, the owners of ambulance companies suddenly found themselves woefully behind in the reporting of mileage.

Much of the ambulance vehicle reporting had to be done off line and with little accountability.

That all changed for the better with the arrival of the world's first ambulance GPS system. This new ambulance vehicle system is loaded into each and every vehicle and immediately enables full and accurate mileage down to the last one tenth of a mile. This is huge news to the ambulance companies that have needed more responsibility with that reporting.

Now those people who run ambulance services companies can equip their ambulances with software that can measure down to the last one tenth of a mile.

This innovation had less to do with the accuracy of the ambulance driver and far more to do with enabling the ambulance company to bill for each fractional mile.

And with the ambulance services companies as squeezed as so many other businesses, this was truly welcome news.

Ambulance vehicle tracking has truly come of age.

And if you are in the business of ambulatory services, you need to learn as much about it as you can now.
