Reduce Lights-and-Siren Use in EMS
Why?
- Reduce Crashes: Most serious ambulance crashes involve the use of lights-and-siren.
- What Really Matters: Lights-and-siren don’t save much time and very few patients benefit from the small time savings.
What are we going to do about this?
- The EMS Community is coming together with a group of world class experts to safely decrease the EMS use of lights-and-siren with a national performance improvement project.
- Our goal is to reduce the use of lights-and-siren to less than 30% of responses and less than 5% of transports on 911 EMS calls.
Benefits of Participation include:
- Improved safety for your patients, providers, and community
- Shared learning, networking, and coaching with content experts and peers
- Resources for testing changes within your agency and sustaining improvements.
