What’s on the Horizon?

“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest." —Benjamin Franklin

This month I celebrate my 20th anniversary working at EMS World. Having spent the past two decades covering advances in prehospital practice, I don’t think there’s been a more exciting time to be in EMS than right now.

As authors Mario Weber and Michael Gerber report in the June issue of EMS World, evidence-based practice is gaining traction throughout EMS, as we transition to the use of high-quality evidence—rather than consensus or expert opinion—as the basis for our clinical guidelines (see “Why Research Is Important in EMS”). At the same time, we are casting a critical eye over every aspect of EMS operations. Read “Should Response Time Be a Performance Indicator?” to find out what some of the leading voices in EMS think about how we measure the effectiveness and efficacy of EMS response.  

Anyone eager to know what’s next on the EMS horizon should consider attending EMS World Expo 2015, scheduled for September 15–19 in Las Vegas, NV.

At the largest EMS conference in North America, subject matter experts and leading manufacturers will gather to discuss emerging trends in clinical care, review state-of-the-art technologies improving patient outcomes, and showcase the products and services that will transform your operations. This year we have added an MIH-CP educational track that runs throughout the conference, acknowledging the importance of numerous programs across the country changing the way we deliver care.

Register today at EMSWorldExpo.com and find out what the next 20 years hold for EMS. It will be an investment you won’t regret.

Congratulations Nancy! It was 10 years ago next month that you published my first article in EMS World. Thank you so much for helping me and countless others break into writing for publication over that time, and for being so patient about rewrites. I can't wait to see what the future holds for both EMS and EMS World.
