EMS Insight

Sounds crazy ... right? Well, there might be a few situations where it's actually beneficial ... when utilized cautiously and appropriate (of course).

A brief breakdown of the EMS 3i initiative being presented through the EMS Director publication.

Change can be good...controversy can be good (especially when they lead to progress).

Somewhat of a New Years' resolution...tackle 2019 differently, looking at it from another angle, and boldly.

Intubate early...intubate often. If it's low-frequency (now) because of low call volumes, then why not force it to be high-frequency through regular training?

We're asked to do a lot...and we're expected to do a lot as EMS administrators...so why not utilize technology to help us capitalize on ROI and value optimization in EMS. After all, "free" doesn't necessarily mean there isn't some sort of "cost"...and really, you get what you pay for!

3 "crystal ball" predictions...or hurdles...that I think we'll face as we fight for "provider" and "professional" status.

Can you put aside what you know and believe and "just" be a paramedic?

The UHU is quite objective...but our "average" call isn't...it's subjective. So, why not weight the value (appropriately)?

"If you've seen one EMS system...then you've seen one EMS system."

Is that the truth behind our industry...or is it our excuse?
