About us
The National EMS Management Association (NEMSMA) is a professional association of EMS leaders dedicated to the discovery, development, and promotion of excellence in leadership and management in EMS systems, regardless of EMS system model, organizational structure or agency affiliation. NEMSMA is an inclusive organization of EMS leaders and managers where all are welcomed regardless of organizational size, corporate structure, ownership, or philosophy. Whether you are fire, public or private, rural, suburban, urban, city or county, hospital, third service, police, military, you are welcome under the National EMS Management Association umbrella - the only EMS association dedicated to discovering, sharing, developing, and promoting best EMS management practices. Under the NEMSMA umbrella, you will have an opportunity to continually learn from a diverse group of EMS executives who like you, deal with EMS staffing, budgeting, deployment, response times, fleet management, and medical direction on a daily basis. You can share your hard knocks and wisdom with other NEMSMA managers who can give you peer to peer feedback. Our goal is to become a powerful source for information, know how and experience for all EMS managers, regardless of agency size and model. We are on a campaign to collectively learn from each other and scale the mountain of unproductive and limiting rhetoric about whose model is better.

Questions on integrity: How do you balance the need for quick decisions in the field with the responsibility to maintain accurate and honest documentation? Have you ever been in a situation where protocol and reality didn’t align perfectly? How did you handle it?

The Fine Line: Navigating Ethical Boundaries in Emergency Care Consider this scenario: A paramedic crew arrives at the scene of a severe accident. The patient is critically injured, and every second counts. As the team works frantically to stabilize the patient, the lead paramedic makes a split-second decision—one that might bend the established protocols, but could potentially save the patient’s life. However, later, when documenting the incident, there’s a suggestion to alter the report slightly to align with standard procedures—after all, the decision saved a life, right? But here’s the dilemma: Where do we draw the line between making judgment calls in the heat of the moment and altering the truth in our documentation? Is it ever justifiable to "adjust" facts when the outcome was positive? This scenario isn’t just theoretical. Emergency responders often find themselves in high-pressure situations where the right course of action isn’t always clear-cut. Yet, what happens after the dust settles can have long-lasting implications for our profession. So, I pose this question to my fellow healthcare professionals: How do you balance the need for quick decisions in the field with the responsibility to maintain accurate and honest documentation? Have you ever been in a situation where protocol and reality didn’t align perfectly? How did you handle it? Let’s discuss the challenges of maintaining integrity in the fast-paced world of emergency care and how we can support each other in making the right choices. #EmergencyCare #Paramedics #HealthcareEthics #Integrity #Leadership

10 Traits of a Dangerous Paramedic: Are You Guilty? 🚑 In the world of EMS, there’s no room for mediocrity. But what about those who go beyond mediocrity, to the point of being dangerous? These aren’t the qualities we discuss often, but they’re the ones that can make the difference between life and death. Here are 10 traits that can turn a paramedic into a liability: 1. Complacency: The moment you think you’ve seen it all is the moment you put lives at risk. 2. Poor Communication: Failing to convey critical information can lead to catastrophic outcomes. 3. Lack of Empathy: Patients aren’t just cases; they’re people in crisis. 4. Inflexibility: The inability to adapt to the unexpected can be a fatal flaw. 5. Neglecting Self-Care: Burnout leads to mistakes. Your health matters. 6. Arrogance: When ego overshadows collaboration, the whole team suffers. 7. Ignoring Protocols: Rules exist for a reason, breaking them can cost lives. 8. Inadequate Training: Skills atrophy without practice—staying sharp is non-negotiable. 9. Tunnel Vision: Focusing on one problem while missing others can have dire consequences. 10. Overconfidence: Confidence is good, but overconfidence blinds you to risks. Every trait here is a warning sign. If any of these hit close to home, it’s time to reflect and take action. The stakes are too high to ignore the dangers within ourselves. Are you the kind of paramedic who saves lives, or one who endangers them? #EMS #Paramedics #HealthcareLeadership #Professionalism #EmergencyServices
