On today’s podcast, co-hosts Chris Cebollero and Kelly Grayson ponder what the EMS systems of the future will look like after the COVID-19 pandemic is over. Around the country, emergency services are seeing upwards of a 40% decrease in calls and transports. If this trend continues, will we need as many EMTs and paramedics as we did pre-pandemic? If we need to change the staffing model, Cebollero proposes a three-tier model of BLS response, with ALS intercept and community paramedics working in both preventive and primary care.
