AB The  goal  of  any  medical  service  is  to  provide  the  patient  with  the  right  resources  at  the  right  time.  For  many  in  our  society  any  wait  for  anything  is  too  long,  hence  the  concept  of  a  “Starbucks  on  every  corner.”1  Although  it  is  arguable  that  there  is  a  greater  need  for  emergency  medical  services  (EMS)  than  for  coffee,  very  few  EMS  agencies  could  afford  to  place  an  ambulance  on  every  corner.  Because  of  this  EMS  have  used  various  deployment  strategies  to  meet  their  patient  care  goals.
