: To calculate the monetary value of the time factor per
minute and per year for emergency services. Methods: The monetary
values for ambulance emergency services were calculated for two
different time factors, response time, which is the time from when a
call is received by the emergency medical service call-taking center
until the response team arrives at the emergency scene, and operational
time, which includes the time to the hospital. The study was
performed in two steps. First, marginal effects of reduced fatalities
and injuries for a 1-minute change in the time factors were calculated.
Second, the marginal effects and the monetary values were put
together to find a value per minute.
