One of the most significant needs the Commission has recognized is to assist transport services in creating a culture that supports safety and quality for both crews and patients. Most of the helicopter EMS (emergency medical service) accidents and many ground ambulance accidents can be attributed to human factors and systems designs that lead to poor decision-making. Management commitment is vital to create and maintain a culture that supports risk assessment, accountability, professionalism and organizational dynamics. This reference book has been created by CAMTS to address this need directly and comprehensively. It offers a groundbreaking collection of expert insights and practical solutions that can be used by EMS, Fire and Rescue, public and private services, and professional emergency and transport professionals worldwide. Quoting from the foreword written by the late Robert L. Helmreich, Professor Emeritus of Psychology at The University of Texas Human Factors Research Project, 'This is an important book which should be required reading for everyone involved in patient transport, from managers and dispatchers to those at the sharp end... The experienced and able authors and editors of this work use culture as the overarching concept needed to maximize safety while delivering patients expeditiously.' 606 $aEmergency medical services$xQuality control 606 $aEmergency management$xStandards 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEmergency medical services$xQuality control. 615 0$aEmergency management$xStandards. 676 $a362.18/80289 702 $aOverton$b John$g(John W.), 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462234603321 996 $aSafety and quality in medical transport systems$91899777 997 $aUNINA
