Fremont County Emergency Medical Services Case Study

Today’s society has seen an increase of unpredictable violent events that require an increasing need for tactical medical responders. While some if not all departments in the United States have a form of Tactical Emergency Medical Support, in the present time it almost seems as if there is a growing need for awareness, education, and personnel to have a tactical mindset. Tactical Emergency Medical Support is an out-of-hospital EMS system that focuses on medical support for law enforcement special operations missions. Although most emergency situations involve routine-like situations such as a mild allergic reaction or a person going in to cardiac arrest, Emergency Medical Responders need to be prepared for the unexpected. Multiple

With no standards being concrete, EMS agencies can develop their own EMS officer curriculum based off NEMSMA’s guidelines, and develop courses and credentials specific to their agency. This can be accomplished by conducting a needs assessment to figure what extra educational and training credentials should be required, and what the agency wants to take out of what is already developed. This way, agencies have their own specific EMS officer training programs that work well with their agency. However, along with conducting a needs assessment specific to an agency, the requirements outlined by NEMSMA should strongly be taken into consideration, especially the credentials. Each EMS officer positon is unique in its own way. It is important to have the experience, knowledge, education and EMS background in order to fulfil the duties of each positon. The credentials and competencies outlined by NEMSMA are realistic and can be implemented

The emergency care system works under the Seattle Fire Department and operates with emergency departments at local hospitals, dispatch centers, and private ambulance providers, as well as the fire departments (“About the EMS Division,” 2016). The system consists of many providers who are working as a team to provide the necessary treatment in both life threatening and non-urgent situations. Providing the best quality care to their residents is a policy.

Administered the Beavercreek Fire Department EMS Training Division 1996-2003. This included writing and implementing policies, database manipulations, scheduling speakers, conducting trainings, writing training packets and handling patient care & protocol discrepancies. Also implemented the continuing education program. I compiled applications, developed training forms, wrote policy and received approval for the Beavercreek Fire Department continuing education site certification through the Ohio Department of EMS.

King County has an integrated education system that equips society with necessary knowledge, particularly the first aid cautionaries. Its inclusion in the curriculum of high school students of the King County ensures that the community at large is informed about how to respond to emergency situations (Eisenberg, Bergner & Hallstrom, 1979). With the knowledge gained from such training, the students became aware of what is expected of them in regards to offering first aid care to an emergency. This knowledge is passed to rest of community when students interact with them. This helps to reduce the number of deaths occurring from certain preventable incidences. It has also enabled EMS to achieve its mandate through the contribution

First responders, such as fire, police, and EMS rely on communication to effectively work together as agencies and as a team. Incident command systems give first responders the tools necessary to establish a clear command structure, eliminating unnecessary communication and confusion. ICS can be used in a variety of situations varying from natural disasters, terrorist events, hazardous materials response, emergency medical response, and fires. Preparation in these events plays a large role in a first responder’s to protect themselves as well as the public. It is through training of incident command systems first responders can begin to put ICS into application.

She told me that focus should be on his performance. In addition, she motioned that we could offer him a paper test. However, I would need to let you know that he was taken via ambulance to the VA emergency clinic at 4:55am Monday morning, 12/5/16, and was scheduled for Berry like aneurysms test f/up on 01/04/2017. I am not sure we should pursue any additional Tier 1

The purpose of this field manual (FM) is to provide a source for the most current essential information about fire support at the battalion task force and company team levels and discuss the technical, operational, and organizational aspects of observed fire procedures. The doctrinal foundations for this

In Alameda County, California a woman without insurance arrived at a private hospital agonizing in labor pains. The hospital turned her away because their computer proved she wasn’t financially able to afford their care. A few hours later the woman’s baby was still-born in a county hospital. A year later in San Bernardino, California a doctor at a private hospital deemed a man who had been stabbed in the chest stable and recommended him to a public county medical center where the man later suffered cardiac arrest and died (Scu.edu). These patients weren’t denied for medical reasons, but for purely economic reasons. The hospitals feared that these people would not make for good business because they could not pay for the treatments. Instead

I am interested in pursuing a career on the emergency medical team. On the emergency medical team they care for sick or injured people in emergency medical settings. They also respond to 911 calls for emergency medical assistance, they assess a patient’s condition and determine a course of treatment, provide first-aid treatment or life support care to sick or injured patients, transport patients safely in an ambulance, transfer patients to the emergency department of a hospital or other healthcare facility, report their observations and treatment to physicians, nurses, or other healthcare facility staff, document medical care given to patients, inventory, replace, and clean supplies and equipment after use.

A sedated 72-year old male was admitted to the emergency department of a county hospital. The patient was complaining of chest pain and shortness of breath. This patient has a history of COPD, type-two diabetes and has quit smoking for nearly seven years.

The reporting party (RP) reported responding to a call from Emergency Treatment Center located at 9990 County Circle Center in Riverside. According to the RP, resident Frances McCarthy age 65 was initially transported to Loma Linda Medical Center for suspected Sepsis or Pneumonia. Fortunately the resident was not diagnosed with either therefore the resident was transferred to the assisted living facility The Grove Care and Wellness 3401 Lemon St., Riverside, CA. 92501. While present in the skilled nursing facility, the resident became angry and began pacing around yelling for a cheeseburger. He began screaming and hitting himself in the head. The skilled nursing facility is not equipped to handle resident displaying aggressive behaviors; therefore

Emergency Operations in the United States are governed by the National Incident Management System and its sub component Incident Command System. The ICS is an organizational planning tool that helps sort and define incident command responsibilities to aid in the prompt mitigation of disasters and its effects. The primary staff positions govern other subsets of skills and together form a scalable organization that in theory can operate given an incident of any size and still perform the same functions. The primary design of the ICS structure is flawed in that it does not hold medical planning as its primary staff position but regulates it to a lower level. This is the Achilles heel of disaster management, medical operations are vital to the success of any disaster mitigation and management plan. Medical staff planning should be a primary staff position under the ICS structure.
