Idaho Bureau of EMS

Idaho Bureau of EMS Idaho EMS will ensure quality patient care by administering an effective, statewide system of coordinated emergency medical care.

The Bureau of EMS and Preparedness is charged with providing leadership in developing and implementing EMS systems throughout Idaho and setting standards for the training and scope of practice of various levels of EMS personnel. The Bureau also has responsibility for promoting disaster medical preparedness throughout the state, and, when required, coordinating and supporting the state's medical response to major disasters. Emergency and disaster medical services in Idaho are rooted in the skills and commitment of the first responders, EMTs, nurses, physicians, and administrators who deliver care to the public and operate the system. In order for high quality services to be delivered with high efficiency, all aspects of EMS systems must work together, mutually reinforcing and supporting each other for the benefit of the patient. The Bureau, through standard setting, consensus building, and leadership, plays a central role in improving the quality of emergency medical services available for all Idahoans. In Idaho, day-to-day EMS system management is the responsibility of the local and regional EMS agencies. It is principally through these agencies that the Bureau works to promote quality EMS services statewide. The Bureau staff also work closely with many local, state and federal agencies and private enterprises with emergency and/or disaster medical services roles and responsibilities.

Idaho Gov. Brad Little welcomed Idaho Bureau of Emergency Medical Services personnel and a variety of stroke-certified medical professionals to the ceremonial office at the Capitol yesterday. Little signed a proclamation declaring Idaho to be a Stroke Smart state.

"We all know Idaho's a very rural state," said Little. "We have a lot of residents who are a long way from a hospital, and so EMS is absolutely critical. It's also critical that there be broad awareness throughout the state."

Becoming a Stroke Smart state is an indication that the state has committed to comprehensive educational campaigns, hospital collaborations and community outreach aimed at teaching residents how to recognize stroke symptoms and the necessity of calling 911 immediately. Community education campaigns are expected to reinforce citizens' ability to recognize common stroke symptoms and outward signs as well as reinforcing the importance of calling 911 immediately to get medical professionals to the patient as soon as possible.
