Ambulance Vehicle Tracking: And The Arrival Of The Ambulance GPS System

By Jill Wilson


If you know a bit about business, you know that accounting and accountability drive results. Yet in the ambulance vehicle tracking industry, that was simply not the case until just recently.

The arrival of the fractional mileage policy where ambulance mileage is to be recorded down to one tenth of a mile, the need to far more accurate record keeping instantly arose.

And as stunning as this may sound, until recently, 67% of all ambulances on the road did not have fractional mileage odometers in them. That meant that the majority of the mileage data being recorded was being done by hand with low accountability for the owners of the ambulance services companies.

And that all changed in an instant with the arrival of the world's first ambulance GPS system.

With it, the accuracy of ambulance vehicle tracking has become incredibly sophisticated as the ambulance GPS loads down to one tenth of a mile accurate data that can be used for all medical billing purposes. This is huge news to the owners of the ambulance services companies that have had to rely on that mileage information to be relayed back to them by each driver. This was hardly the most sophisticated way to get that reporting for medical billing.

And this is great news for the owners of all sizes of ambulance services companies as now they can have data that is 100% online integrating with ambulance billing systems.

It also ensures the owners of the ambulances themselves of the accountability of all drivers.

Ironically, the development and implementation of this new ambulance vehicle tracking software was an idea brought to life by one of the smaller and more nimble players in the ambulance vehicle space.

If you own an ambulance services company and have waited for more sophisticated data collection from each ambulance, this ambulance vehicle tracking software is a must.
