a laptop, which is installed, in my car with 3G access allowing me to stay on top of things when I’m not in the sta‐ tion or my own office. Not bad for a 36 year veteran who is more of a hands‐on kind of guy than a computer‐savvy know‐it‐all! But in all sincerity, it’s that easy to use.
Overall, beyond knowing we’re staffed 24/7/365, we see the biggest return on investment in not having to constantly run over to the station to check the schedule. Time is money and our scheduling process before switch‐ ing to online scheduling cut into our time way more than it ever should have. Even as a subscription service, there is no doubt in my mind that EMS Manager has saved us money, not cost us money. I’m actually quite surprised that it isn’t priced considerably higher than it is! I have said it before and I will say it again, “If they take EMS Manager away from our service I will retire immediate‐ ly!” Online scheduling has proven to be
an invaluable tool and a lifesaver. With the product we went with, we have quality with service to match. And to that, I’d say, “EMS Manager – right product, right dose, right route, right service, right now!” EMS
