Great talk at #NAEMSP2025 from the Stilley Doctors on BLS cardiac arrests as the possible standard of care. Important logistics questions answered w/clarification on BLS first response, should ALS be present and when, BLS terminations, BLS transport, etc.
“It’s not basic, it’s fundamental.”

Fantastic talk from @maiadorsett.bsky.social about giving feedback in #EMS. This was important to me as a medic & I prioritize it as a Medical Director when I can. Too many limitations w/ hospital outcomes. NEMSAC is trying to break down silos with improving bidirectional data sharing. #NAEMSP2025

How do you define quality in #EMS? There is no better person to answer that question than @maiadorsett!
“Quality in EMS must prioritize patient outcomes.”
Systems are complex and require attention to structural & process measures to build improved care.

Kicking off the #EMSAdvocacy with “EMS as an Essential Service” through state legislation.
As of April 2024, there are 15 states which designate EMS as “essential.” Did you know that LAWYERS were considered essential in 38 states?
How do we define “essential?”

Presented today at #NAEMSP2025 with Dr. Mike Levy on the rapidly changing EMS legal landscape.
Some of the issues discussed:
- Sentinel Med Errors
- Impact of Body Cams & Cell Phones
(EMS providers must assume that they’re being videotaped 100% of the time.)
- Video for Documenting Refusals?

As a medical director for the largest ground #EMS service in the state that ranks 50th in maternal mortality, I have personally made this a goal of mine.
EMS will pick up the slack where the healthcare system is failing. It’s easy to make the diagnosis and be aggressive with treatment.
