Ambulance Dispatch Service for MS Access

As you can probably imagine, managing an ambulance service is not something one should attempt without specialized software to help them out. Lives are at stake, so mistakes need to be avoided at all costs.

Ambulance Dispatch Service for MS Access is a Microsoft Access template that provides you with a very simple way to manage an ambulance service. While it can do the job, it is difficult to recommend such a simple tool for a task this important.

When it comes to the software’s benefits, we have to mention the fact that it is remarkably easy to set up. As long as MS Access is installed, you can open the file instantly, from any location, and get to work right away.

After making some modifications to the database, you can place the file on a portable storage device and use it from any other PC without losing your data.

From the Calls tab, you can keep track of all the emergency calls that have been received. You can enter their description, date/time, status and address, as well as the name and number of the responding ambulance.

The template enables you to enter all vehicle maintenance operations, along with their date and cost. However, you cannot specify which vehicle they were performed on.

Lastly, Ambulance Dispatch Service for MS Access can be used to generate call and maintenance reports, which you can print easily.

On the whole, this Access template works well enough, but we cannot recommend it for an emergency service that needs to keep track of a large number of calls and vehicles. Data entry and retrieval is not as streamlined as we would like, and the lack of advanced features limits the software's usefulness.
