Ambulance of the Future

[JMooreHFE]

I'm currently working on a team with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) to develop best practices in the design of patient compartments to ensure EMS and patient safety while supporting EMS performance in supplying patient care.

We'd like to speak to EMS workers to ensure the best practices that are being developed from this effort accurately address your needs in safely and effectively performing your job in an ambulance's patient compartment. If you would like to participant in discussion groups, interviews, and or surveys, please contact me.

Thanks for your time!
