A. In the non-hospital emergency setting, out-of-hospital care minimizes systemic insult or injury and manages life-threatening conditions through high-quality consistent emergency standards of care. Such care is dependent on continuous quality improvement, effective monitoring, medical oversight of out-of-hospital protocols, and collaboration of medical physicians and licensed emergency services personnel. These licensing standards constitute minimum guidelines that each licensed EMS ambulance service shall meet to ensure the safety of patients of all ages in the out-of-hospital setting.
