Emergency medical services, like other fields, are changing rapidly and one of the areas where change is continually occurring is in the certification of personnel. For years, the standards of certification for emergency personnel have been prioritized and they’re expected to continue to be updated to align with current best practices and evidence-based research.
Another important change in the EMS administrative landscape is a renewed focus on the wellbeing of first responders. Recruitment and retention of emergency personnel have been growing as an issue and the effects of the job on their mental health are a constant priority for administrators.
A growing trend seems to be the dialing back from technology and a return to more communication-based services. Efforts to collect data and implement new tools are interfering with the provision of actual care and so these technologies are starting to get dialed back in favor of a more high-touch approach.
