EMSDOC is professional group of Board Certified Emergency Medicine and EMS Physicians providing Emergency Medical Services direction and training to businesses since 2005. Our current licensure covers New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona and Nevada.
EMSDOCS has provided unified medical direction for nearly all EMS agencies operating in San Juan County since 2005. Providing medical direction to The City of Farmington Fire Department, The Jicarilla Apache Nation EMS, Navajo Nation Fire and Rescue, Navajo Mine and Zia Tattoo Removal. This list represents nearly all of the EMS activity in San Juan County.
All EMS systems, regardless of their delivery model, should operate with medical direction and oversight from an EMS physician. EMS is the practice of medicine and as such, any of the activities that constitute EMS require oversight by a physician. Physician oversight of EMS is critical to the successful delivery of EMS in any environment. The National Association of EMS Physicians agrees with these definitions and statements. Medical direction is an essential component of an effective EMS system in order to ensure that patient care is administered with appropriate clinical oversight using medically accepted standards.
Many regions in the United States lack appropriate EMS medical physician oversight. Whether it is a private, military, state, county, or volunteer EMS services, increasing the safety of the general public is well within the scope of practice of an EMS medical director.
Through this unified model, we have been able to ensure collaboration between agencies, consistency in guidelines, and shared training opportunities. We have also used this opportunity to help the agencies set standards for equipment, ensuring interchangeable supplies, interoperable monitors, AEDs, etc. Ultimately, those who benefit the most from this unified medical direction model are the citizens of San Juan County – our patients. Our interagency collaborative approach seeks to best distribute shared resources to most effectively serve the public, as opposed to an approach which would most benefit a particular agency or municipality. This has also provided cost savings to those agencies, as we have avoided duplication.
Working closely with our EMS managers, fire chiefs, training officers, and EMS coordinators, we have been able to set high standards for licensing, training, and performance. Nearly all of our contracting agencies have aspired to the same high standards. Thus, this has been a very productive relationship, which again ultimately benefits the citizens of San Juan County.
We are committed to providing 24/7/365 access to on-line medical direction to ensure appropriate decision-making regarding cases of patient non-transport, patient transport destination selection, intercepting with an ALS unit, and helicopter activation.
