Text Summary of Chart | |

|
Lee County measures the number of requests for emergency services. The dispatch center receives calls from the 9-1-1 system, and when deemed an emergency, dispatches the necessary Lee County emergency response resources to the scene. Each request for service is considered an
incident. In many events, the request for service requires a single ambulance response. However, there are occasions when a non-transport arrives on scene prior to a transport unit or an incident requires multiple responses. |

Total call volume of emergency dispatch countywide includes calls taken by Lee County's five Public Safety Access Points: Lee County Public Safety (Lee Control), Fort Myers, Sanibel, Sheriff, and Cape Coral. Lee County's Public Safety Emergency Dispatch Center, Lee Control, counts calls, duration and the time of day calls are received. They are all measured and tracked for not only staffing purposes, but also to see trends in seasonal impact and growth.

Text Summary of Chart | |

| Dispatch time is how long it takes for a call taker to notify the responders. This is from the time it appears in the system to the time the first alert is sent to the responders, either via radio or cellular messaging. The national standard for this key performance indicator is 60 seconds or less 90% percent of the time. |
Emergency Medical Dispatch (EMD) and
Emergency Fire Dispatch (EFD) Protocol Compliance | |
|
Text Summary of Chart | |
|
|
Accredited Centers share a common goal of improving public care and maximizing the efficiency of 9-1-1 systems. Scores for medical and fire dispatching must consistently be above 95% to maintain accreditation. A call taker must follow the protocols exactly and make clear correct choices in code determinants. Any deviations or incorrect code choices lowers the Quality Assurance scoring of the call.
A 9-1-1 call has seven key components that the call taker is scored on for compliance to the protocol:
Case Entry, Chief Complaint Determination, Asking Key Questions, Pre-Arrival Instructions, Post Dispatch Instructions, Final Call Coding and Customer Service. |
