Medical Direction EMS involves the practice of medicine, but there is no mention in the 15 components of physician involvement in the development or delivery of EMS. Thus many EMS systems were developed without direct physician involvement or oversight.

CRITICAL PATIENT AREAS The EMSS Act not only outlined the 15 components of a comprehensive regional EMS system, but also identified seven critical patient areas. Each of these special patient populations has specific needs that are best met through an established subsystem of the total community EMS system. The seven critical patient groups are: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Major accidental trauma Burn injuries Spinal cord injuries Acute coronary care/heart attacks Poisonings High-risk infants and mothers Behavioral and psychiatric emergencies These patient groups provide unique challenges for system planners and administrators.
