Abstract :
This study proposes a framework for emergency response service that incorporates two game theory models designed to advise response medical resources when raising the threat advisory level. First, the interactions between a group of weekly patients and an administrator of emergency department are modeled as a noncooperative game, after which the security risk value is derived for each type of emergency event from the Nash equilibrium. Second, all values of four emergency events are collected to compute each type of emergency´s Shapley value based on three threat levels. Then an acceptable emergency medical resources scheduling is made based on their expected marginal contribution.
