In this EMS Week episode of Inside EMS, Cohosts Chris Cebollero and Kelly Grayson dive into where emergency care begins, and how community paramedicine launched a paradigm shift years in the making. They discuss how EMS did a fine job of educating the community about the obstacles and dangers of the job during COVID-19, but need to capitalize on and maintain that momentum moving forward.

Memorable quotes from this episode:

  • “Community paramedicine has everything to do with EMS week.”
  • “Advocacy is what this is all about, and we as a profession have kind of fallen down on the job for quite a while on educating the public about the capabilities of EMS, and the obstacles and hardships that we face, and that’s what EMS Week is all about.”
  • “We need to leverage our advocacy and teach the real first responders, the public, about what’s appropriate to call EMS for and what they can do to crowdsource that urgent care.”
  • Chris and Kelly discuss:

    • How emergency care begins at dispatch and nurse triage of 911
  • ET3 and the telehealth model
  • Kelly’s experience with treatment-in-place and alternate destinations
  • Response time standards
