Patent ID: 8437731

Claim:
A method for predicting a survival rate among individuals, where the survival rate depends in part on a responsiveness of emergency personnel, and the responsiveness of the emergency personnel depends in part on an amount of time taken to route an emergency call to a primary emergency response center, the method comprising: determining, by a computer system, a quantity of emergency calls initially routed to a primary emergency response center; determining, by the computer system, a quantity of emergency calls initially routed to a secondary emergency response center that, in turn, routes the emergency calls to the primary emergency response center; calculating, by the computer system, a survival rate amount individuals according to a function of the determined quantity of the number of emergency calls initially routed to a primary emergency response center and the quantity of emergency calls initially routed to a secondary emergency response center; displaying the calculated survival rate on a terminal; displaying a number indicative of a quantity of emergency calls routed to a primary emergency response center; and displaying a field that facilitates specifying a different quantity of emergency calls routed to a primary emergency response center to facilitate recalculation of the survival rate based on the specified quantity.
