Addressing the Gaps: EMS Response to OB Care Deserts


Listen Later

This year has brought many changes in the care provision landscape for obstetric patients. As with many aspects of care, access to maternity care is inequitable by geographic location. Legislative changes in the last year have exacerbated these geographic inequities and EMS is called upon to help meet the needs of patients in these challenging circumstances. In one state, Tennessee, EMS is seeing extraordinarily long transports and due to legislative changes, physicians are facing potential prosecution for treating patients. Join us as we discuss protocol and just-in-time educational needs, psychosocial aspects of care and collaborative efforts between EMS and OB in this arena.

Special guests on this episode are Tracy Coffey, MD, FACOG, OB/GYN, who is Department Chair and Medical Director of Women's Services at Tennova Healthcare Clarksville, TN.  

Ashley N. Huff, MD, FACEP, FAEMS, who is an emergency physician and Air Evac Lifeteam/Global Medical Response EMS Medical Director in TN.
