The Emergency Medical System Service: A Praxis Exploration of Leadership In Pre-Hospital Care Environments
Abstract
Throughout the world, injury is one of the primary causes of death and morbidity (WHO, 2005). There are approximately 5 million deaths each year due to injury and also millions that are temporarily or permanently disabled worldwide (WHO, 2005). Compounding this is the unfortunate fact that “most of the worlds population does not have access to prehospital trauma care” (WHO, 2005, p. 8). The Emergency Medical System (EMS) has placed great importance, within their future vision, on the analysis and examining of “Leadership Support” and “Personnel Development” to ensure leadership capacity through their existing EMS leaders (EMSCC/DSMUC, 2006).
