EMS And The Law
No matter how well-trained or experienced an EMS provider is, legal issues are an ever-present concern. EMS and the Law is a primer about the American legal system as it applies to EMS providers, offering a basic overview of laws and rights with a detailed description of how they affect EMS. Topics covered in the text include duty to partners and patients, ethical responsibilities, patient and provider rights, negligence, processes and procedures, and what to do if you are named in a lawsuit.
This book is part of the EMS Continuing Education Series.
As an EMS provider, you know that your education does not stop when you finish your initial training. The things you learn in the field and in continuing education classes give you the extra skills and knowledge to make you the best provider you can be. The EMS Continuing Education Series was created to help you take that extra step toward not just being a great provider, but an outstanding one.
