- LIABILITY ISSUES IN THE EMERGENCY SERVICES
Emergency Service Organizations, their leadership and members are being sued with more frequency every year, with larger payments being awarded. In addition to the monetary sums involved, the organization and membership suffer from losing work time for court appearances, stress, and the poor publicity shed upon them. This lecture reviews recent case history to better define the problems and makes recommendations to lessen the chances of litigation and reduce the severity of future actions.

Intersection accidents with emergency vehicles kill and injure many emergency service workers as well as the general motoring public every year. This lecture reviews these terrible statistics and hones in on the most dangerous part of the trip, the intersection.

All emergency vehicle drivers should attend this course.

Methods of reducing the exposure to such accidents, which are available to the organization leadership, are discussed including reviews of previous loss history.
- WRITING REPORTS (Documentation)
The most mundane part of the job is still very important. A well-written report may be a lifesaver to an emergency service organization years after an incident, in a courtroom. Reports impact almost everything we do including future budgeting, protocol development, policy and procedure review, attendance records, accident details, training plans and concerns, and in EMS providing proper patient care after we’ve left them in an emergency room.
