Case Study: MedStar Mobile Healthcare achieves 50% fewer major incidents and 80% lower repair costs with Lytx DriveCam safety program

MedStar Mobile Healthcare dramatically reduces collisions and associated costs with the Lytx DriveCam safety program

MedStar Mobile Healthcare, which must reach many emergencies in under nine minutes, faced a critical safety and cost challenge: ambulance driving often involves speeding and led to multiple major collisions and roughly $75,000 in incident costs. The organization needed to reduce speeding and collisions to protect drivers and patients and lower the steep financial burden of crashes.

MedStar deployed the Lytx DriveCam safety program with the Speed Management enhancement—using video-based technology, analytics, and targeted driver coaching—to identify and correct risky driving behaviors. The program cut major driving incidents (including collisions) by 50%, reduced bent metal costs by 80% (down to about $14,000), and lowered the company’s insurance experience modifier, translating into reduced overhead and patient costs.
