What EMSC is working on in 2008:
There are three surveys in various stages of development and collection. The first deals with pediatric equipment on ambulances; the second is relative to family-centered care. The first is a paper survey. The second is an online survey for which a link has been established. A postcard with the address for the website will be sent out to all Wyoming ambulance services by the first part of February 2008. Simply go to the site and complete the form. That’s it! The last survey will be completed through a phone call from the EMSC program and will be concerned with on-line and off-line medical direction. This survey will begin in February as well. All of this information is being collected because of a mandate from the federal government that will show just how well the United States ares taking care of our children.
