The Market Dynamics and Evolution

The market of EMS has become more and more challenging due to myriad reasons like an increasingly aging population and an upsurge of chronic diseases. Besides this, the growing specialization of hospitals has caused an increased demand for interfacility transfers. The overall rise in hospital demand also has resulted in general delay in transfers. Issues like inefficient routing, transportation costs, billing, and operations are a significant hurdle which causes slower response time.

AmeriPro successfully addressed these concerns with an inward dive investment in technology, and it started in April 2018 but has expanded rapidly since then. Inside the unit, it’s like a mini-hospital room. Each truck is outfitted with portable IV infusion pumps, a portable ventilator, a paramedic, and Emergency Medical Technician.
