Healthcare Strategists and its principals have been actively involved in EMS system planning for the past 30 years. We specialize in strategic planning and program implementation for pre-hospital care, ambulance service delivery, and comprehensive EMS system studies. We also have significant experience designing contemporary and financially stable EMS systems. Many of our projects are located in mature managed care markets, and we have demonstrated their success over the years.
We are experts in the organization of pre-hospital care systems, their financing, cost sensitivities, and positioning for the changing dynamics of the healthcare market. Our studies encompass public (fire and public health), private, third service, joint venture consortiums, and their successful implementation. We specialize in analyzing pre-hospital care systems, ranging from design, cost, and care capabilities to integration with the managed care market.
Three recent EMS plans that Healthcare Strategists developed called for contemporary and visionary EMS delivery systems consistent with an integrated EMS and healthcare delivery model. These three system plans included Contra Costa County (CA), Wood River/Sawtooth EMS Plan (ID), and the El Paso County EMS Plan (CO). Each EMS system is customized based on local needs and characteristics.
One of these projects, the Wood River/Sawtooth EMS Region (Sun Valley, Idaho area), called for an innovative approach to EMS in a rural and mountainous area. This is the first rural EMS plan in the country to follow the rural guidelines set forth in the NHTSA publication "EMS Agenda for the Future." The plan incorporates several innovative elements and steps that may assist other rural regions in the country to evaluate and implement improved EMS systems.
