Abstract

Ambulance times are internationally recognized Key Performance Indicators (KPI) for prehospital care. International benchmarking by comparing ambulance times between countries is a valuable method to help to identify strengths and weaknesses across healthcare systems. However, ambulance times are not standardized across or sometimes even within countries. Thus, this benchmarking study aims to compare terminology and definitions of ambulance times from the ambulance services of a range of countries to facilitate international benchmarking.
