Components of an EMS System Information Adapted from: Created for:

Components of EMS System: Governmental legislation System management Human resources and training Communications Transportation Public information and education Hospitals Medical direction and evaluation

Tier 1 First Responders First Responders are trained to provide immediate response to events that are determined to be highly urgent. The personnel are often trained in basic life support and can provide immediate treatment or stabilization of the patient. Because of the availability and proximity of these units, they are able to provide quick response and early access care to patients while the ambulance is enroute to the scene.

Tier 2 Basic Life Support (BLS) Units BLS units are usually staffed by Emergency Medical Technician - Basic (EMT-B) personnel. EMT-Bs have approximately 110 hours of training in patient assessment and treatment of fractures, lacerations and other minor injuries. They are CPR trained and are able to provide appropriate patient care. EMT-Bs provide treatment and transport for the sick and injured in cases where more advanced treatments and interventions are not required. They also may assist more advanced-level EMS responders.

Tier 3 Advanced Life Support (ALS) Units ALS units are usually staffed by Emergency Medical Technician – Intermediate (EMT-I) or Emergency Medical Technician – Paramedic (EMT-P) personnel who have advanced training in the care and treatment of the sick and injured.

Tier 4 Air Ambulance/Aero medical Services Aeromedical Services are usually ALS services staffed by paramedics and/or nurses. These resources can be fixed wing (airplane) or rotor (helicopters) and can be hospital based or independently operated. Many EMS systems have airambulance support available if needed. These resources are used in severe cases where transport time to the hospital may be the determining factor in patient survival. They are also utilized in remote areas where EMS ground transport units have difficult access.
