Kevin McGinnis, a FirstNet board member and Amanda Hilliard, Director of Outreach for FirstNet, are the featured presenters. They will outline the expected benefits, such as accessing patient information and real-time vital sign monitoring, of FirstNet for the EMS community and provide an overview of current FirstNet activities, including consultation with the public safety community.
Attendees are encouraged to participate in an open question-and-answer session during the one hour webinar.
FirstNet features have the potential to help EMS providers make better treatment, field, and operational decisions.
“With a firm grasp of the positive impact the proposed broadband network can have on patient care, and an understanding of the current planning process, the EMS community will be able to provide input to FirstNet,” said Drew Dawson, director of NHTSA’s Office of EMS.
