BUILDING A PARTNERSHIP FOR EMERGENCY CARE: ENSURING THE BEST EMS RESPONSE DURING THE HEALTH CARE REVOLUTION AND BEYOND

Changes in health care financing are affecting the delivery of all aspects of health service, including emergency medical services (EMS). Executives from managed care and EMS came together over the past two years to meet this challenge. In a series of four roundtable discussions convened between June 1997 and January 1999, they identified common principles and set a course for EMS to follow through the changing economic environment. Guidance was developed for communities wishing to follow this course. This monograph summarizes the joint EMS and managed care effort.
