Help Shape EMS in Alberta - Call for input

March 17, 2022

From our, Town of Pincher Creek inbox: 

Help Shape EMS in Alberta
 
We are writing today to invite you to take part in shaping the future of EMS in Alberta.
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) is a critical component of Alberta’s healthcare system. EMS provides emergency response to 911 calls for patients across the province, as well as handling transfers for patients needing medical care between hospitals and medical facilities.
EMS is currently undertaking the creation of a long-term Provincial Service Plan for EMS. This EMS Service Plan will reflect how EMS integrates into Alberta’s health system, and it will provide the vision and direction for EMS in Alberta for the next five years, as well as set out a clear roadmap on how to get there. This plan is to be completed by September 30, 2022.

To do this, we need to hear from those who depend on our care – Albertans. Our first step is to assess the current state of EMS, and we are doing this by launching our engagement website and a survey. We’re asking for your involvement, and for you to share this information with your citizens and constituents:

  1. First, please visit https://together4health.albertahealthservices.ca/ems-service-planning  and sign up to subscribe to our project updates so you can take part in current and future EMS engagement opportunities.
     
  2. Then, watch our 30 minute introductory video on the Together4Health site about the EMS Provincial Service Planning process. This video is optional, however it provides valuable background about EMS.
     
  3. Finally, take our “Current State Survey” on the website which should only take about 5-10 minutes. Let us know what you think is working within EMS, and what isn’t, so we can build on strengths and plan for improvements.
    • The current state survey will close April 8, 2022.
AHS EMS and Alberta Health is looking forward to connecting with patients and families, frontline EMS and AHS staff, elected officials, Indigenous communities, contracted service partners, medical first responders, and other parts of the healthcare system now and over the coming months.
 
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to listen to your feedback as we develop a long-term strategic plan for EMS in Alberta, and please do share this opportunity with others so they may also offer their feedback and suggestions.
