About Priority Dispatch Corporation

Priority Dispatch Corp. is the world leader in providing emergency dispatch protocol products as well as training and services. Our company has developed a comprehensive, systematic approach for triage systems for emergency calltaking centers. Our Medical Priority Dispatch System™ (MPDS®) has been in use for 45 years. Currently, the MPDS and it's counterparts, the Police Priority Dispatch System™, Fire Priority Dispatch System™, and Emergency Communication Nurse System™ are used in 60 different countries and have been translated into 31 different languages and dialects.

The MPDS, PPDS, and FPDS exist in ProQA®, the most complete software solution in the industry, which leads the Emergency Dispatcher through a structured interrogation sequence of triage and recommends a response assignment.

Prioritizing EMS responses helps avoid inappropriate response allocation and inappropriate use of lights-and-siren. Instead of a maximal response, it is better to send a response that is most suitable for the situation. In this way, the Priority Dispatch System not only saves money – it saves lives.
