The concept of creating a federal EMS administration has been discussed by some EMS leaders for years, but recently garnered national attention when it was recommended by the George Washington University Homeland Security Policy Institute.
In a report titled "Back to the Future: An Agenda for Federal Leadership of Emergency Medical Services," the HSPI proposes moving EMS leadership from it's current place in the Department of Transportation to the Department of Homeland Security, where it would be an equal but separate entity alongside the U.S. Fire Administration.
The paper has garnered support from the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians, the EMS Labor Alliance, the International Association of Flight Paramedics, and state associations including Florida, Georgia and New Jersey.
