Abstract
Following the tourist falling accident in the Grand Canyon of the United States, the need for medical services for overseas Koreans is on the rise. In this study, I tried to suggest an improvement plan for the 119 Air Ambulance Service, which is an unmet emergency service need, because overseas Koreans must receive the same emergency service as domestic citizens. According to a literature review, air ambulance services have been universalized worldwide when considering goal setting, strategy setting, organizational structure, and geographical conditions step-by-step. Fixedwing aircraft, the core equipment of air ambulance services, may incur high costs; therefore, it is necessary to consider the uncertainty of the initial business, and to utilize Incheon International Airport in consideration of the regional conditions of an international airport for overseas dispatches in relation to the operation of the organization. As operating personnel, an Air Ambulance Transfer Team Leader, Air Ambulance Medical Team Leader (specialist), and EMS Provider are required, starting with the central 119 EMS Captain, and it is recommended to have advanced life support (ALS)-level professional equipment capable of transporting critical patients.
