Guest guest Posted December 4, 2006 Report Posted December 4, 2006 Mind you, I'm not necessarily advocating this, but I am curious as to something. Is there any evidence showing that an actively involved medical director actually improves patient outcomes? It seems that there are so many different forms of medical direction -- from blindly signing protocols to responding to actual calls -- that medical direction itself may not be much better defined than the introductory material we all read in our EMT textbook. Thus, it seems the question is -- Does the type of medical direction provided (or not provided) produce a quantifiable improvement in patient outcomes? Sorry, I'm in an EBM mood tonight. -Wes Ogilvie, MPA, JD, EMT Austin, Texas Quote
