Principles of EMS Systems, Third Edition provides EMS personnel, from new recruits to EMS medical directors, with an overview of the organization and operations of an EMS system, both on a daily basis and in response to large-scale events. This book explores the role medical directors play in EMS and discusses the importance of medical oversight and accountability. By focusing on the collaborative interaction of EMS, police, and fire professionals, emergency physicians, emergency departments, and hospitals, this resource provides a
framework for how these different groups must work together to ensure the emergency medicine/health care safety net does not fail when we need it the most.
Throughout many chapters this third edition also discusses how the lessons learned since September 11, 2001 must be incorporated into the overall practices and viewpoint of EMS. Through both concepts and examples, the reader will come away with a new understanding of the issues that are critical to the daily operation of EMS systems both today and in the future.
