Progress, But Problems


In


Developing Emergency


Services


Systems


.Health Services Administration
Department of Health, Education, and Welfare

Development of regional emergency medical
services systems on a self-sustaining basis
depends on the willingness of local govern-
ment and local providers, such as hospitals, to
accept the regional system concept.

So far, regional systems have not been able to
gain the control and coordination necessary
to achieve economic, effective, and efficient
emergency medical services delivery called for
by the Emergency Medical Services Systems
Act of 1973.
Improvements have been made in the delivery
of emergency medical services as a result of
system developments encouraged and finan-
ced by the act. However, the regional concept
is being compromised by Virtue of the inde-
pendence and differing priorities of local
governments and providers.
