Emergency Medical Services (EMS)
| New York ACEP believes that emergency medical services (EMS) are the first and foremost medical services in an out of hospital setting. As such, EMS must be viewed with the same demand for quality and excellence as any emergency medical care provided in the hospital.
We believe that all New Yorkers are entitled access to high quality EMS whether in rural, suburban or urban settings. We support efforts to improve the training and professional development of all EMS personnel and to upgrade the standards for dispatching services, ambulance staffing, and the level of medical care in order to optimally treat and stabilize the patients that are encountered in EMS systems.
New York ACEP believes that the direct involvement of the Department of Health and their requirement for qualified medical direction in all phases of out of hospital care are necessary to ensure the public of quality healthcare beginning with the EMS providers and continuing through transport to and treatment in the hospital Emergency Department.
