Keeping Colorado’s EMS Strong: Mandatory Incident Reporting
To keep our EMS system safe and strong, all ground ambulance agencies are required to report certain events that happen within their organization. This includes provider terminations or suspensions, vehicle accidents that result in injuries, loss of medical direction, and other key incidents.
Reporting these events helps us improve accountability and continue building one of the best prehospital care systems in the nation.
Visit our website to learn more about what needs to be reported and how to do it. Questions, contact EMTS Operations 303-691-4932 or Ground Ambulance Licensing.
Path4EMS Agency Survey: Help Shape the Future of EMS Support
The Path4EMS Program Review Task Force has been working over the past year to ensure the long-term sustainability of the Path4EMS program.
As part of this effort, the Task Force has developed a survey for agencies that employ or utilize EMS providers to better understand the resiliency and support resources currently available.
A link to the survey will be sent directly to agencies in the coming days. Please ensure it is completed by a knowledgeable representative of your organization. Your feedback will play an important role in strengthening EMS support statewide. If you have any
questions or if your agency does not receive the survey link, please contact Tim Petreit 720-467-8342 .
