EMS Center of Excellence
The Premier Health EMS Center of Excellence provides best practices across the system to pre-hospital providers in our region. The EMS Center of Excellence is built on five pillars. These pillars promote excellence in education and quality of patient care under the EMS medical direction within the Center of Excellence.
EMS Education and Training
Our nine EMS coordinators have more than a century of combined experience and vast knowledge across the spectrum of EMS that is shared through continuing education and various EMS specialty courses. Lectures and classes are built around available resources including our Level I and Level III Trauma Centers; CareFlight Air and Mobile critical-care transport services; Cardiology and stroke expertise; high risk maternity; under the auspices of one state accredited EMS course/continuing education (CE) site (Premier Health EMS Center of Excellence #332), and one EMS CE site (CareFlight Air & Mobile #103) certified by the State of Ohio.
EMS Quality of Care and Patient Follow Up
The EMS Center of Excellence is committed to providing quality information on all patients including time critical diagnosis such as stroke, AMI, and trauma on an ongoing basis and as the need arises.
