Fractile Response definition

Fractile Response means a method of measuring ambulance response times in which all-applicable response times are stacked in ascending length. Then, the total number of calls generating response within eight minutes (for example) is calculated as a percentage of the total number of calls. A 90th percentile, or 90 percent, standard is most used. When a 90th percentile response time standard is employed, 90 percent of the applicable calls are arrived at in less than eight minutes, while only 10 percent take longer than eight minutes.
