Me again, on my policy kick.
I'm one of those people who thinks that almost anything can be done for the right incentives, or bribes. Those bribes could be a bonus (money) for doing good things, a demerit or (penalty) for doing bad, a slap on the hand, a cupcake, and so so much more.
We talk here (as so many bloggers and podcasters) about what needs to be done to change EMS (education, pay and protocol development come to mind immediately). My question to you is... HOW can you make it happen? If you were in charge, how would you change things for the better?
What incentives do you think would convince your employer (local ambulance provider, hospital, SAR group, educational institution, etc.) to improve standards of care, employee treatment, equipment, education, etc? What could your local OEMS do to encourage QA/CQI? Your union to provide better hours?
I want to hear you dream... let me know what you'd like to see, and how you would make it happen (encourage with incentives), if you had the keys to the kingdom.
