Every EMT or paramedic who works out in the field knows that a fair percentage, some might say the majority, of our patients, don’t actually need to go to the emergency room.” Is it safe for this patient to go to urgent care? Can they get a prescription written for a new medicine or refill an existing prescription?

Simultaneously, the EMS system has also experienced a huge increase in call volume, and, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, has now experienced a critical loss of paramedics and EMTs, leaving those who remain to deal with the strain of overwork, stagnant wages, and, in many cases, forced overtime. Mode of arrival is not a triage category.

It’s been more than a decade since the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) stopped using the certification designations EMT-B and EMT-Basic. The change from EMT-B to EMT was not just in title. There is nothing “basic” about what an EMT learns or the skills he or she can perform.

Regardless of the frequency with which you see them, you may be wondering — what exactly does an EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) do? EMTs are not just “ambulance drivers,” although that’s certainly a critical part of their occupation. For EMTs and patients, an ambulance is more than transportation to the hospital.

When selecting a proper tool an EMT or Paramedic, even a Medical First Responder, should think about what sort of job they do.
