ATS Improves Response and Turn Times with In Motion Technology

In Motion Technology has announced that private ambulance operator, ATS Medical Services, has deployed the company's patented mobile hotspot technology in its fleet of advanced life support vehicles.

"With In Motion Technology, we provide faster responses, better patient care, and more efficient operations," said ATS founder and CEO, Andy Schultz. "Today, we provide a level of service that is unmatched by other private operators in our area."

Utilizing In Motion's onBoard Mobile Gateway, ATS medics now wirelessly share data with doctors and fleet managers in a way that is improving care, reducing response times and making the service more competitive.

ATS' new capabilities are driven by the Gateway's patented mobile hotspot technology that provides reliable, secure connectivity to a variety of wired and wireless devices. This has enabled ATS to integrate dispatch, billing, and patient care reporting systems into a single, paperless system that can be accessed anywhere and saves time and money. Where ATS medics were once required to spend time after each call entering patient, billing, and other information, today crews get back on the road right away

"The Gateway has allowed us to cut our turn times in half," said Schultz. "Our crews can clear from calls and be available much quicker than our competition."

The Gateway is also GPS equipped, enabling ATS to dispatch the closest available unit, reducing fuel use, improving resource utilization, and achieving the fastest possible response times.

Recently, a heart attack victim transported by ATS received interventional cardiac catheterization care in 14 minutes -- well under the 90 minutes recommended by the Society of Chest Pain Centers. En route to the hospital, the ambulance's Gateway had transmitted diagnostic-quality 12-lead ECG information to the ER in advance of its arrival.

"In Motion Technology has reduced our costs, increased our efficiency, and improved customer service," said Schultz. "It has enabled us to expand service and gain market share even during the current economic downturn. It has paid for itself ten times over."

"In today's highly competitive market, commercial ambulance services must rigorously manage operations and costs while providing the highest standards of service," said Tony Morris, In Motion Technology's VP Sales and Marketing. "From the largest nationwide fleets to regional and local companies, private ambulance services across the nation rely on In Motion Technology to perform, compete and succeed."
