AI Summary

This bill requires privately owned ambulance services in Arizona to provide detailed information about their operations to the state department of health. Specifically, ambulance services must report the types of calls they receive (such as advanced life support, basic life support, or interfacility transfer), including precise timing for each call (dispatch, on-scene, hospital arrival, and release times). They must also report instances when they have only one ambulance available in a service area, have no ambulances available, refuse to provide backup or mutual aid to other ambulance services, and any complaints received from individuals, health care facilities, or hospitals. The department is then required to make this information publicly available through its website, with the caveat that any personally identifying information will be redacted. This bill appears designed to increase transparency and accountability in emergency medical services by creating a comprehensive reporting mechanism that allows public oversight of ambulance service performance and responsiveness.
