Health Care
You work for LAR Ambulance, which is private ambulance providing EMS 911 response as the primary care providers in a rural county and urgent and non-urgent transport of patients from one hospital or care center to another. You have three ambulances in all to provide coverage of the county. Each staffed by one paramedic and one EMT/AEMT. The county is large and rural and transport times are often 20-30 minutes. There is one hospital in the county and two in neighboring counties that are often the closest from the scene.
Protocols say that all “chest pain” and possible “heart condition” patients be placed on a 12-lead monitor as soon as possible and the EKG transmitted to the hospital while in transport. You have received complaints from the hospital that they frequently do not receive the EKG until just before the ambulance or it is not sent prior to arrival. Upon evaluation it is found that it is a problem and occurs 45 to 50% of the time with these patients.
