[Optimization of use of prehospital emergency physicians after new dispatch and guidance instructions].

Introduction: Correct use of prehospital medical competence requires optimal dispatch. Based on the severity gauge Severity of Injury/Illness Index (SIII) which grades injury/illness into eight levels, we examined the effect of implementing new dispatch and guidance instructions in the emergency call centre.

Materials And Methods: From the local Prehospital Database we have withdrawn data from 1st August 2000 to 31st December 2005.
