Safety issues, injury prevention and other risk management practices have become important every day concerns for the business of EMS.
1) What do you consider to be some of the most important components and trends occurring in EMS with respect to safety and risk management?
2) What is driving these trends?
3) Do you foresee any other trends or changes arising in the future?
To answer these questions you may want to think about the changing technology surrounding the industry, as well as changing trends in society that are driving new innovations or perhaps increasing health concerns for responders (i.e. increasing obesity among patients and the corresponding equipment that has found its way into the marketplace to deal with this issue).
