Driving the Course of Care

EMS: Driving the course of emergency care as never before

 

Driving the Course of Care More and more, EMS is driving the course of emergency care by enabling clinical decisions that determine where, when, and how your patients are treated in the field and once they reach the hospital.  You and your colleagues are leading the way with the adoption of new technologies, such as CPR measurement and feedback tools, advanced monitoring that detects STEMI, and more sophisticated medical treatment in the field such as hypothermia protocols.  Your efforts are resulting in earlier field recognition of conditions and trends, earlier therapeutic interventions, and earlier reporting and care in receiving hospitals, all of which benefit your patients.

 

We invite you to read more about this exciting development in EMS by viewing an exclusive supplement to JEMS, sponsored by Philips Healthcare, “Driving the Course of Care: From Advanced STEMI Detection to Hypothermia Protocols, Techniques Used in the Field Are Revolutionizing Inpatient Care.”
