Decrease in Staffing Requirements

3/18/2020

 
On Tuesday, Governor Baker announced that in order to increase the availability of EMS services throughout the Commonwealth, the number of staff required in an ambulance shall be reduced from two EMTs to one. Recognizing that EMS is key to the overall healthcare infrastructure and required during a healthcare crisis, this will waive the current (2) EMT requirements of staffing. DPH and OEMS have taken the TH-FAS proposed staffing models introduced last year to assist in their decisions. Once OEMS releases guidelines we will share how this will operate.
