What is your average number of RMA's per week, month or year

[jgervin]

Looking for some data on RMA's for a presentation.

1. Are you a private EMS, community or rural?

2. Average number of RMA's per day, week, month and year?

We are a rural ALS service:

Less than 3% of our calls end up with a refusal for treatment or transport. the majority of these come from care crashes where we are called to check out the occupants even though they have no injuries.

There are more that receive treatment and then refuse transport to hospital by ambulance.

Last time I heard numbers, down here in New Zed something like up to 30% of patients have a recommendation of non-transport made

Personally? About 38%. Service-wide I think around 28-30%.

EDIT: That's ALL refusals. Treated no-transport and refusal of all aid.

EDIT 2: We're a county-based third-service (EMS separate from Fire) agency covering a region of urban, suburban and rural locations with a call volume of around 50,000/year.
