Doctorate Title: The Development of an EMS Low Acuity Dispatch Tool.
Doctorate Description: This doctorate is a composite mixed method study of four research papers for publication. In order to develop a low acuity dispatch tool, we will first define the term "low acuity" in the pre-hospital environment and then conduct a descriptive study of prehospital data. The outcome of these studies will inform a regression analysis in another study which will then be validated.
