    What if you were asked that question tomorrow? Your city manager is developing the city's budget for next year and has listened to you explain for a year that staffing shortages, cost increases, and supply chain issues are hindering your ability to provide reliable EMS service to the community. She's also seen the local and national media reports on the plight of the challenging EMS economic model leading to service failures. She's ready to put additional funding into the city's budget for EMS. How much do you need? How do you provide simple data about your current cost of service delivery, and what future costs will likely be? What impact would service level changes have on your funding need? Do you press for one-time funding, or sustainable funding for the long haul?

    This scenario is playing out in many communities across America as governmental leaders finally realize that the current EMS economic model is not sustainable.

    This webinar will walk you through the simple steps to identify your current cost of service delivery, as well as predict future costs based on anticipated revenue and expense changes, and help you estimate cost changes with modifications to service delivery changes.

    A panel of leaders from High-Performance EMS Agencies that are currently either receiving or pursuing public funding will also share their recent experiences.

    Best Practices for Mitigating Ambulance ED Delays
    Recorded September 7, 2021 | 14:00 ET | FREE

    Download Slide Deck


    We’re in a perfect storm! In many communities, the Delta Variant has stressed healthcare systems to the max, and dramatically increased EMS response volume. Staffing in EMS and hospitals is critically low, hospitals are nearly full, and 911 call volume in some communities at record levels. The eye of this storm is the hospital emergency department. Patient volume at record levels, patients in the ED on observation status, and even patients awaiting inpatient beds are resulting in delays for ambulance crews trying to transition patients from their care to the ED staff. Numerous agencies across the country are reporting 60, 90, and 120+ minute delays getting patients into the ED. At the same time, some hospitals are seemingly able release EMS crews rather quickly, so they can respond to other 911 calls in the community.


    A panel of experts for AIMHI member agencies, EMS legal and EMTALA experts, representatives from Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, and hospitals who have seemed to master the EMS turnaround speed will share their best practices for mitigating ED delays, and the legal consequences of ambulance parking. AIMHI will also present the results of their FLASH POLL on ED turnaround delays, and data from nearly 6 million patient care records from ESO will be presented to quantify the gravity of this challenging issue.

    Flipping OFF the Switch on HOT Emergency Medical Vehicle Responses!
    Recorded July 7, 2021 | 14:00–15:15 pm ET | FREE Webinar

    Download Slide Deck | Watch on YouTube

    HOT (red light and siren) responses put EMS providers and the public at significant risk. Studies have demonstrated that the time saved during this mode of vehicle operation and that reducing HOT responses enhances safety of personnel, with little to no impact on patient outcomes. Some agencies have ‘dabbled’ with responding COLD (without lights and sirens) to some calls, but perhaps none as dramatic as Niagara Region EMS in Ontario, Canada – who successfully flipped their HOT responses to a mere 10% of their 911 calls! Why did they do it? How did they do it? What has been the community response? What has been the response from their workforce? Has there been any difference in patient outcomes? Join Niagara Region EMS to learn the answers to these questions and more. Panelists from co-hosting associations will participate to share their perspectives on this important EMS safety issue!

    Developing and Implementing Evidence-Based Protocols
    Recorded March 23, 2021 

    Download Slide Deck

    EMS delivers medical care, first and foremost. The most crucial role of an EMS Medical Director is to develop, implement and quality assure protocols used in the delivery of medical care by EMS personnel, including Emergency Medical Dispatchers. This webinar will share the ways that Medical Directors of some of the most innovative EMS systems determine what medical treatments are included in protocols for EMS personnel, both in the ‘traditional’ role of EMS care delivery, but also enhanced protocols for things like Mobile Integrated Healthcare and alternate disposition models of care. Some of the topics discussed will be:

    • How do you determine an evidence-base for protocols?
    • How often should protocols be updated?
    • How do you balance clinical efficacy with operational realities?
    • What are some best practices in provider credentialing?

    Best Practices in EMS Transformation During the Pandemic
    Co-Hosted by NASEMSO, NAEMSP, and AIMHI
    Recorded Tuesday, February 2, 2021


    Many EMS agencies have dramatically transformed their clinical and operational and approach for care delivery, as well as enhancing their role in the community, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. EMS regulators have had to navigate the regulatory environment to change rules that facilitate the changes necessary for EMS agencies to effectively serve their communities. Implementing transformational change requires strong clinical leadership, responsive operational acumen, and in many cases, changes in the regulatory environment. Successful transformation takes close collaboration with medical direction, operations and regulatory oversight.

    Join panelists from the Academy of International Mobile Healthcare Integration, the National Association of EMS Physicians, and the National Association of State EMS Officials as they highlight examples and best practices for navigating the clinical, operational and regulatory maze to facilitate transforming the role of EMS.
