A type of medical transport that moves patients between healthcare facilities. For example, a patient may be transported from a local hospital to a specialized heart center.

The development of ambulance corps during World Wars I and II focused on rapid evacuation and care for injured soldiers.

The use of helicopters during the Korean and Vietnam Wars revolutionized battlefield medicine by enabling faster transportation of wounded soldiers to medical units.

A designated physician who oversees the medical care provided by paramedics in a specific EMS system.

The "White Paper" published in 1966 by the National Academy of Sciences and the National Research Council outlined 10 key points related to medical care, influencing the development of the modern EMS system.

A type of medical control that involves direct communication between a paramedic and a physician via radio or phone.

The National Highway Safety Act of 1966 established the framework for a comprehensive EMS system in the United States.

A type of medical control that involves pre-determined protocols and guidelines for paramedics to follow. It does not involve direct contact with a physician.

A set of principles and values that guide a paramedic's professional conduct. It emphasizes ethical behavior, patient advocacy, and responsibility.

The US Department of Transportation was created in 1966 to oversee transportation matters, including the development and implementation of EMS programs.

A structured approach to improving the quality of patient care. It involves assessing current practices, identifying areas for improvement, and implementing changes to enhance outcomes.

Paramedics must hold a license (also known as certification or credentialing) to practice legally.

Performing paramedic functions without proper licensure is illegal and can have serious consequences.

A type of research that uses data collection methods like surveys and experiments to analyze and quantify outcomes. It focuses on measurable results.

A type of research that explores social phenomena, experiences, and perspectives. It uses methods like interviews and observations to understand the meaning and context behind events.

Each state regulates its prehospital emergency medical care system, including standards for training, practice, and provider qualifications.

A set of rules or principles that guide a person or group's behavior in a specific field.

The process a healthcare agency uses to assess and verify a practitioner's qualifications for providing care.

A research method where data is collected at a single point in time, providing a 'snapshot' of the situation.

A research format that looks at an event without trying to change or influence it.

The practice of using medical research and evidence to improve patient care outcomes.

A study design where neither the patient nor the providers know if the patient is receiving the real treatment or a placebo. This helps minimize bias in research.

A type of research where a single case is deeply investigated and documented over time. It helps understand rare conditions or unique patient experiences.

A research method that tracks changes, events, or trends in a particular group of individuals (cohort) over time.

A research method where participants are assigned to a specific person or crew, not randomly. This is the least preferred method in research.

The process of evaluating and recognizing a person, institution, or program as meeting specific standards for safe and ethical care.

Time periods set beforehand in a research project. This helps structure data collection and analysis.

A study design where participants are randomly assigned to either the intervention group or the control group. This helps ensure groups are comparable.
