Greetings Everyone,
Over the last year and a half, there has been a group of providers throughout the state that have been working diligently and tirelessly on a combined document which outlines the issues EMS is facing today. At the most recent February State Meeting, this document was finally released. This document not only covers the issues at hand, but it dives deep into those issues and offers some recommended changes. I know that some of you are going to look it over and realize that for some of these we are aware. However, this is getting those problems on paper and sparking that conversation at a level that is intended to effect change. It doesn’t just say here is the problem, but it also provides evidence to that issue and solutions to the problem. For those of you that don’t have a lot of time to go through the entire report (although I recommend at some point you do) if you look at pages 9-11 you will see the 25 recommended key considerations. Again, great job to those brainstorming, discussing, analyzing and formulating this report.
