PROTOCOLS AND STANDING ORDERS
All prehospital providers
are expected to follow the Standing Orders and Protocols as written
by the SVMCA. We call these collectively "Practice Parameters".
It is each EMS provider's responsibility to remain current in the
system's practice parameters. These are developed and approved by
the Office of the Medical Director, in collaboration with all system's
participants and practice partners. The Practice Parameters are also
reviewed and approved at the Medical Control Board, and ultimately
at the Medical Control Authority level and the state level (Department
of Consumer and Industry Services, EMS Section.
Intimate knowledge of
the Practice Parameters is necessary in order to provide On-Line
Medical Control by the physicians in the emergency department of
the receiving facility. Physicians providing direction in the radio
(On-Line Medical Control) should know these Practice Parameters
and medications as well or better than our medics.
If
you are an EMS agency, system participant or practice partner, please
click here to our secure site to see the working drafts of our
Practice Parameters. Your input is needed, requested,
and appreciated. With all our minds and souls together we can continuously
improve the care we provide our patients in the prehospital setting.
