Emergency
Medical Dispatch
What
is it?
In 1988, the National Academy of Emergency Medical Dispatch was
formed as a standard-setting organization for all aspects of Emergency
Medical Dispatch. NAEMD is not just an association, but an academic
Academy — setting it apart from many other EMS and public safety
organizations that function primarily as membership, interest, and
lobby groups. With an academic organization of top experts the Academy
has become the authoritative voice of EMD. (Taken from www.naemd.org
)
We
follow EMD to provide the best medial care that possible to your
loved one before the ambulance or fire department arrives.
All employees at the 9-1-1 Center are trained in EMD so we can provide
a uniform level of care to all callers.
Our
Center must comply with the "20 Points of Accreditation" to become
certified and stay that way. We must prove to the Academy
that we are still following the 20 points of accreditation every
four years. A list of the 20 points are available
here.
