Abstract:

The purpose of the EMS Agenda for the Future is to determine the most important directions for future EMS development, incorporating input from a broad, multidisciplinary spectrum of EMS stakeholders. This document provides guiding principles for the continued evolution of EMS, focusing on out-of-facility aspects of the system. EMS of the future will be community-based health management that is fully integrated with the overall health care system. It will improve community health and result in more appropriate use of acute health care resources. EMS will remain the public's emergency medical safety net. To realize this vision, the EMS Agenda for the Future proposes continued development of 14 EMS attributes: Integration of Health Services, EMS Research, Legislation and Regulation, System Finance, Human Resources, Medical Direction, Education Systems, Public Education, Prevention, Public Access, Communication Systems, Clinical Care, Information Systems, and Evaluation.
