Time Frame January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010 General Information The term call volume can be used in many different ways throughout the state and country. For the purposes of this report, it was determined to separate the term call volume into three separate categories. The terms Incident Volume, Patient Contact Volume, and Transport Volume were elected to be used with this report. The terms total incidents and total patient contacts are not synonymous.

Total patient contacts indicate the total number of patients that are responded to by each licensed EMS provider.
