TEAMWORK

Arkansas Emergency Transport provides 24-hour statewide non-emergency transport, as well as emergency transports in designed areas.

Quality Care

To assure that each patient receives quality medical care and is treated with dignity and respect, Arkansas Emergency Transport has a Quality Improvement Department that reviews medical care and patient satisfaction.

Qualified Staff

Arkansas Emergency Transport currently employs approximately 200 staff members, including medical and support personnel. Our medical personnel hold the following certifications and/or licenses:

*EMT-Paramedic (EMT-P)- The highest skill level for Emergency Medical Technicians. These individuals have extensive knowledge, skills and experience in emergency care. Paramedics can perform Advanced Cardiac Life Support skills, including cardiac defibrillation, endotracheal intubations and intravenous and drug therapy. Several paramedics have also completed the Pediatric Advanced Life Support and Neonatal Resuscitation Programs.

*EMT-Intermediate (EMT-I)- Training includes all skills at the EMT-A level, plus intravenous and drug therapy and more advanced airway management.

*EMT-Ambulance (EMT-A)- These individuals are trained to provide emergency care, including Basic Life Support, extrication and oxygen therapy. EMT-A’s also have training in Emergency Vehicle Operations.

*Emergency Medical Dispatch (EMD)- These individuals are trained to provide emergency medical instructions via telephone to the patient or family member, while awaiting EMS personnel. Training includes 24 hours of call taking and reviewing protocols in many different situations and basic life support. Most EMD’s are trained at the EMT-A level or higher. There are four main functions of the EMD—Receive and process calls; provide medical instructions to the patient or family member and relay this information to the responding crews; dispatch and coordinate EMS resources and coordinating services with other Public Safety Agencies.

*Registered Nurses (RN) and Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN)- Arkansas Emergency Transport employs RN’s and LPN’s that have the necessary expertise to assist with transports needing additional specialized care. This includes the utilization of Trauma Nurse Specialists and Certified Emergency Nurses.
