More Information about this Job American Medical Response
Rochester. NY Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Emergency Medical
Technician (EMT) Non-Exempt STRATEGIC CHALLENGES The EMT is
frequently the first or second contact with whom AMR's customers,
especially patients, have interaction. As a result, the EMT must be
responsive and adaptable to meet customers' expectations. The EMT
must adapt to the changes in scope of delivery and practices. This
may require adapting to new delivery protocols, or training
curriculum to maintain certification. An increasing challenge is
adapting to the changing nature of healthcare delivery in the
United States. With healthcare reform, regulatory changes, and
changing reimbursement, the EMT profession is evolving. The EMT
must recognize that an expansion of his/her role is necessary to
meet the needs of those individuals served. The role now expands
beyond the foundational work of providing compassionate and
clinically competent care. The EMT must consider the use of
appropriate facilities and understand the reimbursement structure
in order to transport the patient to the right facility and ensure
payment. The end result decreases customer stress, avoids care
delays due to reimbursement constraints, eliminates unnecessary
multiple patient transports, and increases customer satisfaction.
Growing economic pressures also require the EMT to think of his/her
actions and their financial impact. The EMT is often the focal
point for interaction with the fire department and other service
providers, as well as other responding agencies, such as the police
department. To provide successful response, all agency personnel
must work together. In addition, the delivery of care is often
provided to individuals who are afraid or even panicked. Further,
service delivery is being provided in communities with increasingly
diverse populations. Finally, changing technology requires the EMT
to keep up-to-date with new ways of communicating, documenting and
reporting. KEY RELATIONSHIPS Key Internal Customers and Suppliers:
