EMS Quality vs. Response Times: A Critical Assessment
Staff Report / Lansinglocal.org
A recent OpEd from Richard H. Decker, President of the AIMHI Academy of International Mobile Healthcare Integration, highlights significant concerns regarding emergency medical services (EMS). The piece, titled "EMS On Life Support: The Alarming Gap Between Expectations and Reality," points out that while quick response times are often prioritized, they do not necessarily correlate with quality of care for 911 calls.
According to a report from Michigan Ambulance in Lansing, Michigan, the focus should shift to measuring patient outcomes and the effectiveness of treatment provided by EMS staff. The report emphasizes the importance of adhering to the latest research and guidelines when assessing the quality of care offered during emergency responses.
