About the Prehospital Center, Region Zealand
The foundation of Emergency Medical Services in Region Zealand consists of a finely meshed network of pre-hospital resources consisting of: ambulances, paramedic-manned ambulances, paramedic-manned emergency vehicles, physician manned emergency unit (inclusive the Pre- and interhospital transport unit PIT vehicle) and emergency medical helicopter. In addition, there are supplementary pre-hospital resources in areas with special needs.
The emergency response takes care of the pre-hospital emergency healthcare action in Region Zealand. As a rule, the intervention begins with a call to 1-1-2 and often ends with a transfer to a hospital with handover to the healthcare staff at the hospital.

This intricate network used to transport patients to a relevant hospital is sustained by another network consisting of all the Hospitals involved. Especially the Emergency Departments has an extended collaboration with the Emergency Medical Services fine tuning the workload in the Emergency Departments across the region every day. 

Moreover, the Emergency Medical Services has over the years added on to their initial portfolio and are now assisting other Services in the Region treating the patients in their own homes. This collaboration is developed with the Primary Care and E-Hospital (A hospital unit who delivers hospital treatments in the patients home) and the Psychiatry, where Advanced Paramedics deliver defined services in accordance with the Primary Care and E-Hospital and the Psychiatry.

Collaboration and focus areas of the Prehospital Center

We wish to focus on patient related quality of living and innovation.
