Other | Qualitative analysis of subjective perception of phone call and audivisual consultation. | This analysis of subjective perception of each event in all 3 groups will be evaluated. The inevstigators will use Likert scales (1-excellent, 2-good, 3-sufficient, 4-insufficient) to compare phone and audivisual consultation in following parameters: clinical information transfer, situational context, safety of care. Surveys have to be filled and the patient opinion should be asked at the and of an transport or befere the crew leaves the patient on site. The EMS doctor will fill the survey immediately after the phone or audiovisual consultation is provided. | until 200 cases per group are collected, estimated time 6-8 weeks from the beginning of the study | |
Primary | Non-transport of low urgency EMS case to hospital | Based on Karlovy Vary EMS audit data, there is 10% of low urgency cases treated and left on site by paramedics so far. So the primary outcome is to evaluate the rate of non-transports in common daily routine, when the doctor provides phone call consultation on request of paramedics (based on Karlovy Vary EMS protocol) to mandatory phone call consultation and audiovisual consultation with a EMS doctor. Therefore, the primary objective is to evaluate potential benefit audiovisual consultation with EMS doctor on the rate of patients left at home after treatment on site by paramedics. | until 200 cases per group are collected, estimated time 6-8 weeks from the beginning of the study | |
Secondary | The rate of repeated trips within 48 hours after the patient had been treated at home. | The co-primary safety outcome was repeated EMS trip within 48 hours after the patient had been treated at home. This outcome can confirm and compare the safety among study groups. | until 200 cases per group are collected, estimated time 6-8 weeks from the beginning of the study |
