SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Interagency Committee on
Emergency Medical Services (FICEMS) was created by law to help ensure
coordination among Federal agencies involved with State, local, tribal,
or regional emergency medical services and 9-1-1 systems. As discussed
at their December 16, 2010 meeting, FICEMS is assessing the current and
future role of the Federal Government in EMS and evaluating the options
for establishing or designating a Federal lead office or agency for
EMS. The National Security Staff Resilience Directorate has requested
that FICEMS engage with stakeholders and develop an options paper by
May 15, 2011.
FICEMS is interested in any stakeholder input about the role of the
Federal Government in the full continuum of emergency medical services
and emergency and trauma care for adults and children--including
medical 9-1-1 and emergency medical dispatch, prehospital emergency
medical services (both ground and air), hospital-based emergency care
and trauma care, and medical-related disaster preparedness.
With respect to this full continuum of emergency medical services
and emergency and trauma care for adults and children any stakeholder
input would be appreciated regarding topics such as:
[cir] The role of the Federal Government.
[cir] Activities or functions that should NOT be the role of
Federal Government.
[cir] The role of a Federal lead office for EMS if it were
established including the functions/issues it should perform and
address.
[cir] Other comments or suggestions.
This meeting of the FICEMS will focus specifically on receiving
input from Stakeholders on the above issues. The meeting will be open
to the public via telephone.
