If we are going to educate people about EMS, maybe we should spend EMS Week educating hospital personnel about what HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996) really means.
HIPAA means EMS is authorized to have the same information the hospital is authorized to have.
EMS is an important part of the care of patients. EMS is not an obstacle to the care of patients.
Patient care is improved by improving communication, not by discouraging communication.
