| Purpose: |
Most often prehospital care involves the recognition and treatment
of presenting signs and symptoms coupled with transportation to a
facility appropriate to meet the patient’s needs. In the future,
more clinical care may possibly be provided by EMS, without
transportation to an acute care facility. To prepare for that
eventuality, it is essential that EMS work to build trust with the
broader health care community by providing excellent care to all
of its patients and being engaged in performance improvement
activities. |
