Office Hours Podcast: Patient Hand Off and EMS Safety Episode 8

During this episode of EMS Office Hours Jim Hoffman and I had just finished the EMS Boot Camp session on Medical Control Consults. This led us to discuss the ins and outs of giving reports to other healthcare providers, particularly during patient  hand offs to intercepting ambulances. We also talked about some specific safety awareness issues when riding in the back of the ambulance beyond simple seat belt use. Take a listen and be sure to leave a comment or two.
