Guest guest Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Dudley, Legal question. If paramedics practice under the delegated orders of their medical director, and they go into a state where that physician is not licensed, what authority to they have? Seems to me they would have to hook on to a licensed medical director's credentials. Do we need national legislation regarding recognition of state credentialed medics who go to another state in an emergency? Would state compacts do the job? What if some states refused to join the compact? Would there be time limits on the time a person was allowed to practice? Could medics go to another state under the compact, like it there, and continue practicing? Should all states be required to adopt NR as a recognized certification, so that if you're NR, there IS no state certification? Inquiring minds want to know.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 By God, pass a federal law setting forth national certification requirements and eliminate all state EMS agencies. Federalize EMS. That will save a batch of money, do away with a lot of bureaucracy, make things ridiculously simple, restore the people's faith in their elected representatives, and bring peace to the Middle East.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 All, When Katrina and Rita hit the Gulf coast states licensing considerations and varying scopes of practice caused considerable delay for EMS response. Once the govenors signed emergency declarations the EMAC's could be implemented, but EMS personnel still had some difficulty because of differing state training standards. Nursing and physicians had little trouble. Nurse response was further facilitated by the Nurse License Compact. Because of the compact they were able to respond even before the EMAC's were signed. The exception is possibly Louisiana. I understand they are not a compact state. Is that correct? Now, the question for discussion, what direction should EMS move to facilitate standardization of pre-hospital medical standards from state to state to eventually allow a multi-state compact similar to nursing? Would this be a benefit to individual medics? To the profession? Thank you, Roy Strange, EMT-P --------------------------------- Yahoo! Messenger with Voice.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Unfortunatly I think the only way standardization like you are speaking of (and I may be hung out to dry for saying this) is to enable some sort of state run then FEMA or another federal agency run triage standard where all levels of EMS response be brought down to a " triage & transport " only skill level. In other words during a federally run senerio or incident all EMS personell preform first responder care sorry guys I really think that is the only feasable way EMS response can be standardized during a disaster ALS and MICU would have to be reserved for Doctors and Nurses during the initial phases of the emergency. Since EMT`s can`t preform ALS the only logic to me is make everyone during a disaster a BLS provider, of course that would take MASSIVE federal, state, and local organization and I dont see it happening anytime soon but hey like I said in posts before I`m young maybe I`ll see it before my career is over!!! - Chris wegandy1938@... wrote: Ummm.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 To respond across state lines during a disaster without an EMAC request is a term we all discussed here last year...freelancing. Through years of ICS and now NIMS getting blasted into our craniums, we should all know that freelancing is not good. Also, and this is a hard concept, but when you go on your own (and in EMS's case) with your shiny brand new ambulance, your two Robbie-Rescue ready to go paramedics and charge across the state line into the nether-regions, your ability to be reimbursed for your time and effort is drastically reduced. I know RN's don't have to worry about that...they just walk into any old ER and get busy...who cares about all that JCAHO credentialing...I mean that never happens in a disaster...just any old Tom, Dick or Harry off the street says they are a nurse and BAAM...into the fire they go. NR sure doesn't do that for us...I mean having to check out that people are who they say they are during a disaster...who'da thunk it??? I know there were some difficulties...but I doubt that any delays were too substantial and I am certain that they occurred in all areas of healthcare...we do have a necessity to make sure the people showing up to help are actually qualified to help...BTW, I believe the EMAC process puts this responsibility on the sending state...so that the receiving state is less burdened...so when your ambulances from Arkansas show up, have all the personnel show you their certification card...and away they go.... Here are two really good links to learn more...hadn't heard of the Nurse License Compact...but it was a really good read...might be something to get the Association of State EMS Officials to start looking into...It would seem to have to start with them and the NR process is key...as well as the new Scope of Practice...seems that would facilitate equal standards across state-lines. http://www.ncsbn.org/nlc/index.asp http://www.emacweb.org/ Roy, I was under the impression that when Mutual Aid showed up, they operated under their own physician's protocols...so as long as they have a current cert card from their sending area...and they are on the requested ambulances...why the delay in getting credentialed? Also, all of the gulf states except Florida are National Registry states...so if they all have to take the same test to get certified originally, what differing standards caused issues? Dudley Standardization All, When Katrina and Rita hit the Gulf coast states licensing considerations and varying scopes of practice caused considerable delay for EMS response. Once the govenors signed emergency declarations the EMAC's could be implemented, but EMS personnel still had some difficulty because of differing state training standards. Nursing and physicians had little trouble. Nurse response was further facilitated by the Nurse License Compact. Because of the compact they were able to respond even before the EMAC's were signed. The exception is possibly Louisiana. I understand they are not a compact state. Is that correct? Now, the question for discussion, what direction should EMS move to facilitate standardization of pre-hospital medical standards from state to state to eventually allow a multi-state compact similar to nursing? Would this be a benefit to individual medics? To the profession? Thank you, Roy Strange, EMT-P --------------------------------- Yahoo! Messenger with Voice.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Seamless reciprocity. I deal with out of state students in my online courses. It seems that each state has its own weird pathway for reciprocity, if it exists at all, and it is almost NEVER based on National Registry certification. For instance, New York requires that they pass National Registry but then, if they took the course out of state, they have to apply for that state's certification and then use THAT to apply for reciprocity - not the NR. Florida requires they take the national registry but THEN, they have to apply for state certification and then take yet ANOTHER version of the NR test their on the CBT system they have. Other states do their own versions - this is just two of them. The point is that the idea of seamless reciprocity was a good dream on NR's part, but the problem is that the state departments of health do NOT play well with each other and cannot get on the same page no matter WHAT NR tries to do.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 And wait, let me guess....there are additional fees for each? This couldn't have anything to do with the state receiving more money could it? Nahhhhhhh....don't know what I was thinking.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 You appear to be onto something, Mike. LOL Who knows? You know, they could do what Texas did and accept the NR to get their state cert if you just pay the fee if that was the issue. But it is just not that simple. If this were resolved, the Katrina type issues would be mute, huh? Jane Hill --------- Re: Standardization Seamless reciprocity. I deal with out of state students in my online courses.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Gene, Check out the EMAC web page. All 50 states are a part of that compact and to be a member you have to have legislation that says a number of things. I have not taken the time to read through all the info on their website, but I would imagine that physician practice during times of disaster is addressed. EMAC has been in place since the late 90's and I would bet this question came up early on.... But to be sure, I will ask those questions at GETAC this week as well as spend some " down time " examining the EMAC stuff a little closer. Dudley Re: Standardization Dudley, Legal question.
