PURPOSE

The mission of the United States Fire Administration (USFA) is, in

part, to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the

management of the nation's fire service, as well as Emergency

Medical Services (EMS). As part of an ongoing effort to satisfy

this mission requirement, USFA recognized a need for the

development and dissemination of a comprehensive directory that

lists and describes the various EMS management resources currently

available in the United States.

This Emergencv Medical Services Management Resource Directory is

intended to provide information to EMS managers and represents a

collection of information pertinent to the management of EMS. The

directory focuses on identifying pertinent organizations and

associations, computer data bases, and current reference materials.

Included is a listing of contacts intended to expand the network of

information regarding EMS, as well as colleges and universities

that offer certification and degree programs in the field of EMS.

This directory was designed as a quick reference document to guide

the practitioner or scholar in identifying or researching EMS

resources.

The USFA does not necessarily endorse the documents or

organizations listed in this Emergency Medical Services Management

Resource Directory, but rather provides them as reference material

in a single document. Much of this information is also available

in other documents produced by the USFA, other Federal agencies

and/or the organizations listed in this directory.

ii
HOW TO USE THIS DIRECTORY

This directory is divided into three parts. Part I contains

listings of EMS reference materials such as books, journals,

audiovisuals, EMS clearinghouses and other computer data bases.

Part II contains EMS-related organizations and associations, State

EMS Directors, and State EMS Training Coordinators and Liaisons.

Part III contains a listing of colleges and universities that offer

EMS certification and degree programs. All information in this

directory is current as of the date of publication, but is subject

to change.

The index for this directory may be used as follows:

Reports, books and manuals listed by author in the text

are listed by title in the index.

Colleges and universities listed by state in the text are

listed alphabetically by name in the index.

A listing of states, which includes colleges and

universities, State EMS Directors, and State EMS Training

Coordinators for each respective state, is included in

the index.

INTRODUCTION
EMS MANAGEMENT RESOURCE DIRECTORY

INTRODUCTION

An Emergency Medical Services (EMS) system is defined as: "a

comprehensive, coordinated arrangement of health and safety

resources that serves to provide timely and effective care to

victims of sudden illness and injury." As an integral part of the

total emergency medical services system, Pre-hospital EMS

management has had a major impact on the effectiveness, efficiency,

safety and quality of the total system.

As a result of our society and technology, there are issues that

heavily impact EMS. The current and increasing health care crisis,

drug abuse and related violence, communicable diseases, and the

aging population are just a few of the topics putting pressure on

United States EMS systems. With the best interest of the public at

hand, the Federal Government has undertaken some initiatives that

may further enhance EMS system delivery and provide for

improvements to the overall EMS system. One of these initiatives

is the development of this EMS Management Resource Directory.

The History of EMS

In many ways, the growth of the Nation's EMS is the result of

public demand. Prehospital care did not surface as a national

concern until the 1960s. Prior to that, the victim of a medical

emergency did not receive much medical assistance, other than

transportation to the hospital. Often staffed only by a driver,

ambulance services at that time offered little in the way of

lifesaving care. Hospitals also were not set up to treat lifethreatening emergencies. Emergency rooms did not have trained

iv
medical staff or equipment available on a round-the-clock basis to

treat serious illnesses or injuries.

The first recorded ambulances date back to the Crusades, and the

first actual prehospital care was created during the Napoleonic

Wars in 1792, when the first care and the first air evacuation --

by hot air balloon -- occurred. Many of the concepts of modern EMS

were introduced by military medicine in Korea and Vietnam. The

lifesaving benefits of rapid field evacuation and paramedics, and

medical advances in stabilization and resuscitation, were proven as

a result of the medical care provided to our troops.

In 1966, however, the National Research Council published a report

that concluded that more than 50,000 Americans died as a result of

traffic accidents. This report established EMS as a national

priority. The U.S. Department of Transportation began the

development of a national standard curricula for Emergency Medical

Technicians, which became the nucleus for forming EMS systems

nationwide.

In 1973, the Emergency Medical Services Systems (EMSS) Act

designated Federal dollars for the development of regional EMS

systems. Specific requirements outlined by this Act -- training

and certification, interagency cooperation, equipment development,

communications, and public education -- are recognized today as the

key elements of effective EMS.

As a result of the development of accepted standards and

guidelines, much like those that characterize other professions,

citizens throughout the country now benefit from the expertise of

EMS providers that have been trained and certified in providing

lifesaving care.

Individuals who are involved in EMS -- whether career or volunteer

-- commit to anywhere from 40 to 1,000 hours of training initially,

V
and years of continuing education, as part of their professional

commitment as providers of quality patient care.

A highly skilled force of EMS providers is just one of the results

of the standards and guidelines developed as a result of the EMSS

Act. Similar guidelines contribute to advances in equipment,

communication, and administration.

The medical community recognized that the ability to provide

immediate lifesaving care required the full-time availability of

physicians and nurses with specialized skills and knowledge, as

well as fully equipped emergency facilities. Emergency medicine,

the specialty of evaluating, stabilizing and initiating treatment

for life and limb threatening conditions, was established in 1968

and became a medical specialty in 1979.

Emergency rooms themselves have evolved into emergency departments

that are fully-staffed and equipped 24 hours a day, seven days a

week. Trauma centers are staffed and equipped to provide immediate

care -- including surgery -- to the most seriously injured or ill

patients, also on a round-the-clock basis.

Pre-Hospital EMS Today

Fire departments provided a ready model for the development of

regional EMS systems. Fire departments offered an example of

localized training and certification programs. And, fire

departments are set up -- using communications technology and

strategically located fire stations -- to be able to reach anywhere

in the community within minutes.

As a result the resources that were already available, many

communities housed responsibility for EMS within the fire

department. Today, 60-80% of the 34,000 fire departments in the

United States provide EMS to the citizens they serve.

vi
EMS can be provided in a number of ways and by organizations other

than the fire department. In many communities, the fire department

responds to medical emergencies in a fire engine as "first

responders" -- at either the basic life support (BLS) or advanced

life support (ALS) level. Further care and transportation to a

medical facility is provided by a private, for-profit ambulance

company, separate municipal-based EMS department, or hospital-based

systems are the sole providers of EMS. The EMS personnel may be

career or volunteer emergency responders, and may respond in BLS

ambulances, mobile intensive care units, ALS ambulances, or

aeromedical ambulances.

Approximately 60% of the more than 750,000 emergency medical

providers in the United States are volunteers. Unlike disciplines

that only use volunteers to support the career workforce, volunteer

EMS providers have exactly the same training and responsibilities

of their career counterparts. Many communities are served

exclusively by a volunteer EMS service.

The role of volunteers in EMS reflects a history of volunteerism in

safety and rescue: examples include the fire service and the Red

Cross.

The Government's Role in EMS

The Highway Safety Act of 1966 led to the formation of the U.S.

Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety

Administration (NHTSA), which helped many states and localities

start their own coordinated EMS programs. Over the years, NHTSA

has provided funding and technical assistance to help improve EMS

system development in the areas of planning, training, and

personnel, communications, resource management, trauma system

development, transportation, and public information and education.

vii
In 1973, the Emergency Medical Services Act called for the Federal

Government to spend millions of dollars in the development of

regional EMS systems through a Department of Health and Human

Services (DHHS) categorical grant program. The programs focused on

creating systems, purchasing equipment, and training staff. In the

mid-1980's, much of the funding for Federal EMS programs was

reduced or eliminated. As a result, EMS systems became more

dependent on state and local funding. Many of the differences in

levels of service that persist today -- the lack of universal 9-l-l

service, for example -- can be traced to the decline in Federal

funding.

Since its creation in 1974, the USFA recognized and acknowledged

its responsibility to assist the fire service in its lifesaving

role. As a part of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA),

USFA took a leadership role in EMS management research and

information dissemination, because EMS is such an important part of

the fire service.

Currently, Federal leadership in EMS is provided through NHTSA and

USFA. As a result of the Trauma Care Systems Planning and

Development Act of 1990, the Department of Health and Human

Services is again becoming a partner in EMS.

The USFA has become a, keystone for all of the organizations and

Federal agencies dealing with EMS management issues faced by the

emergency services today. In 1991, the role USFA in EMS was

reaffirmed with the following Mission Statement:

USFA Emergency Medical Services Program

The Nation's fire service is recognized as first

responders to medical and other emergencies. The vast

majority of fire departments in this country provide some

level of emergency medical service, and the majority of

viii
the emergency activity within these departments is

medical-related. Thus, a critical part of fire service

management is the management of pre-hospital emergency

medical services.

The mission of the United States Fire Administration

(USFA) is, in part, to increase the efficiency and

effectiveness of fire service management across the

country. The purpose of the Emergency Medical Services

Program of the USFA is to address a major component of

this issue -- the management of emergency medical

services. USFA will conduct research, produce

publications, disseminate information, and cooperate with

other agencies and organizations in an ongoing effort to

increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the

management of pre-hospital emergency medical services.

The Purpose of this Directory

The USFA's constituency includes over 34,000 fire departments and

17,000 EMS departments across the country. These departments are

comprised of nearly 2 million emergency workers. The diversity of

emergency medical service delivery systems requires effective

communication and coordination among the various providers. Such

communication and coordination can be enhanced with a comprehensive

EMS Management Resource Directory, since some EMS managers might be

unaware of the existence and capabilities of resources available to

them. Since all EMS systems, organizations, and agencies face

similar problems and conditions, the need to coordinate and share

information is critical. This directory will be important in

enhancing this coordination and sharing of information.

duplication is clearly in the interest of the public

and/or is mandated by law, regulation, or department or

agency policy.

2. The views expressed by Federal department and agency

representatives, and voluntary standards activities, are

in the interest of the public and, as a minimum, do not

conflict with the policies of other involved Federal

departments and agencies.

E. Maintain a liaison with National EMS trade and professional

organizations concerning EMS issues, committee policies and

programs, and Federal activities related to EMS.
