Austin-Travis County EMS 2022 Annual Report

fleet & Facilities

KEEPING OUR AMBULANCES SAFE AND RELIABLE • Received 13 new frontline medium duty ambulances. • Side view cameras installed on all new frontline medium duty ambulances for increased visibility and safety. • Developed Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) measuring out of-service times in the areas of ambulance repair, change-outs, wireless repairs, and critical ambulance failures. These stats are tracked both individually and as a whole, and are reported as a monthly average in both hours and percentages. • Inspection/Quality Control forms developed and completed before and after preventative maintenance. • Increased the number of ambulance change-outs performed at EMS stations instead of bringing the unit and crews to EMS garage. This resulted in fewer unit out of service time and increased crew satisfaction. • Front cab seats were decontaminated and shampooed for enhanced cleanliness after preventative maintenance before releasing the truck. • EMS Fleet Operations group utilized the Microsoft TEAMS® software application for enhanced and concise communication with the City of Austin (COA) Fleet staff at Service Center 6 (EMS Garage).
