Proposing National EMS Management Care and Staff Standards

We invited EMS manager Chris Prutzman on the show again to talk about his recent draft proposals for EMS management. Included in them are both provider care and conduct standards, and community care and outcomes standards.

He points out how the fire service has created national standards adopted by the property insurance industry around fire safety and apparatus availability. Chris wonders if a similar care and outcome standard could be created for EMS to be used to drive more equitable medical insurance billing standards.

Also on the show were Dr. Joe Holley and meteorologist Kyle Nelson, along with co-hosts Sam Bradley, and Jamie Davis.
