It has been an interesting morning, and you know this because I am actually submitting this blog first thing this morning (ok, maybe not first thing...but you know what I'm talking about). I have been out of my office since last Friday, and I am just now catching up on my rss feeds. Now, like many of you I have multiple RSS feeds dedicated to the fields of fire and EMS, as well as to the Healthcare field. As you can image, these feed boxes were jam packed with articles that have circulated since last Friday and just ready for me to read over their words. There were several good articles, some that were just funny, and one that left me thinking I needed to watch Silence of the Lambs again (strange HUH!).
In looking over these RSS feeds, I found a common topic that I thought was interesting. Now, what was intersting was the topic was common, but the outcomes were anything but. As you can tell by the little picture I included with this version it has to do with ambulances, more specifically the ambulance services. Evidently, as healthcare continues to define itself, the thoughts of how the EMS system should run also changes to fit/transform to the newest definition. The key...who will own my ambulance. In communities where private ambulance service has been running the show, people are showing interest in the town/fire department running the service. In towns where the community or fire department runs the EMS response, they are talking about privatization. What this tells me is that there really isn't one way or another that is better (non-scientific, personal opinion).
So I ask you to comment below...not with personal opinion though!!! Who has the facts? Have their been any studies completed and if so do you know where the results can be located.
