	EMS Medical Direction



	As a department of Grant Medical Center, a nationally-recognized teaching and research facility, LifeLink has access to multiple resources, including experienced Medical Directors. As a partner with the physicians of Grant Medical Center, LifeLink can provide a total package of medical direction, quality assurance and training and education resources to EMS, Fire-Rescue and other emergency responders. For more information, contact us by email.

	Excerpt from the American College of Emergency Physicians regarding Medical Control of Prehospital Emergency Medical Services: “The American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) believes that all aspects of the organization and provision of basic (including first responder) and advanced life support emergency medical services (EMS) require the active involvement and participation of physicians. ACEP also believes that EMS must have an identifiable physician medical director at the local, regional, and state level. The primary role of the medical director is to ensure quality patient care. Responsibilities include involvement with the ongoing design, operation, evaluation and revision of the EMS system from initial patient access to definitive patient care. Each EMS system should ensure that the medical director has authority over patient care, authority to limit immediately the patient care activities of those who deviate from established standards or do not meet training standards, and the responsibility and authority to develop and implement medical policies and procedures. The EMS medical director's qualifications, responsibilities, and authority must be delineated in writing within each EMS system. Ideally, the EMS medical director will be a board-certified emergency physician. The EMS system has an obligation to provide the EMS medical director with the resources, authority, and compensation commensurate with these responsibilities.” Source: http://www.acep.org/webportal/PracticeResources/PolicyStatements/ems/emsmeddir.htm
