DEFECT IDENTIFICATION, RISK ANALYSIS, IMPLICATIONS AND FACTORS (DRIF) MATRIX: DEVELOPMENT OF CONDITION SURVEY MATRIX FOR AMBULANCES IN GOVERNMENT HOSPITALS 

Abstract

An ambulance is a prerequisite which may be required to assist with initial treatment of patients, and to take them to the hospital. Demand for ambulance services is increasing, and therefore, maintenance for ambulances will be more frequent to reduce the risks of breakdowns and accidents. Ambulances need to be maintained to ensure they will function properly to provide comfort to patients and paramedics. This study conducted on three ambulances between the ages of 16 to 19 years. DRIF was developed to assess the current state of an ambulance to ensure service availability and adherence to safety factors. Data are collected through visual inspection using a special form to indicate the condition of an ambulance. All data are evaluated using coefficients and weights in numerical values. From a brief description of an ambulance defects, the matrix provides a summarized description of the identified defect, thus saving time during ambulance inspection. The score is used to give an overall risk assessment of ambulances based on the following descriptions: periodic maintenance, minor maintenance, mildly damaged and severely damaged. The overall findings reflect the reliability of the DRIF Matrix. However, the matrix needs to be tested on more ambulances or other vehicles to further assess its reliability. This study suggests the use of the DRIF Matrix as a practical method and assessment for ambulance inspections, carried out under reasonable condition monitoring.
