What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill allows an approved emergency medical services program to provide

emergency medical care in circumstances other than at the scene of an emergency,

during transport to a hospital, while in the hospital emergency department until

regular hospital staff assume responsibility for care, and during transfer of a patient

between health care facilities. The bill allows the emergency medical services

program to provide emergency medical care during transport to another facility or

institution in which health care is provided and under a delegation from a health care

provider. Under current law, an emergency medical services practitioner may act

upon a delegation by a health care provider without violating the scope of the

emergency medical services practitioner's license. The bill adds conditions that the

actions delegated to the emergency medical services practitioner must be all of the

following: 1) within the scope of the health care provider's license and competency

and 2) delegated to an emergency medical services practitioner whom the health care

provider ensures is adequately knowledgeable and trained to perform the delegated

action.
