Will PreMIS be integrated into the North Carolina EMS continuing education programs and/or initial training?
Yes, There are initial training and continuing educational requirements based on documentation of EMS service and patient care. The use of PreMIS will be incorporated into this existing structure of initial and continuing educational programs for North Carolina in this manner. At this time, it is not anticipated that this will require additional hours or FTE s with respect to initial training programs. PreMIS will also directly impact continuing education based on the quality management provided. An example might be increased continuing education on recognition of stroke patients based on the identification of poor patient outcomes through quality management analysis.
