A system that tracks the number of ambulances on the road at any one time in Queensland has been made public.

Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) senior managers have already been using software that tracks all their vehicles and maps their movements across the state in real time to within 50 metres.

QAS assistant commissioner Craig Emery said the public could now view the deployment of ambulances via the QAS website.

He said specific location data would be withheld to preserve patient confidentiality.

"On our website is a map of Queensland that someone can click into for their current location and see the available resources that are around them at any given time," he said.

Queensland Health Minister Lawrence Springborg said it would be invaluable in assessing allegations of hospital ramping or poor response times.

"You will sometimes have discussions and certain assertions made about ambulance resources," he said.

"If there are issues surrounding the response in individual circumstances that people have concerns about then the QAS are able to go back through that and to be able to track that as well.

"All of this information will be used for an online mapping service on the Queensland ambulance website.

"You'll be able to see how many units are available, how many are busy and at hospitals and a general idea of where they are.

"The QAS have done a great job putting information out through social media but this is a step beyond that where people can now go online and see for themselves how many vehicles are available and how many are being used at a hospital and also responding to emergency situations."

Mr Emery said supervisors were also being given tablet devices so they could monitor the iROAM system while outside the office.

"Our supervisors love it - you never see them without them tucked under their arm or in their car," he said.

Mr Emery said tablets would be rolled out to the remainder of the 3,500-strong workforce over the coming months with varying levels of access to the program.

"We're able to be more mobile and operate more efficiently," he said.
