Our goal in measuring and analyzing EMS trends is to identify areas for growth: both where it is needed and where it is succeeding at improving operations. The 2023 EMS Trend Survey identified providers’ stress levels are at an all-time high. When agencies and providers are feeling the brunt of staffing challenges in levels that have nearly half of providers (45%) considering leaving EMS, and 97% of agencies struggling with turnover – it’s time to change the way we deliver EMS. In this EMS1 webinar, EMS experts offer their experience-based advice for adopting programs to both improve EMS service delivery and to improve agency culture – creating a safe space where wellness is appreciated, and seniormost staff lead the ship – rather than create additional stress.
