Emergency Medical Dispatch



Emergency Medical Dispatch, or "EMD" is a system where the Communications Officer utilizes pre-configured protocols to gather critical medical information, determine emergency responses, and provide over-the -phone medical instruction to callers.

An EMD system must be properly implemented to include proper training, implementation, Quality Improvement, and system review and up-date.

EMD works! If properly implemented and managed.

In the future Emergency Concepts will feature informative articles on Emergency Medical Dispatch. If you would like to make contributions please E-Mail me.

Emergency Concepts salutes all Emergency Medical Dispatchers!!!
