We're so proud of LifeCare paramedics Ashley and Brytny for the attention and care they show to their patients, which resulted in a life being saved.
Earlier this year, the crew responded to an elderly patient who had fallen at home. Ashley and Brtyny followed Calhoun County's new MEMAW protocol, which requires in-depth assessment of older adults who have experienced a non-traumatic fall. The crew found that the patient was experiencing a heart attack, and quickly began life-saving care.
Ashley and Brytny were recognized by Dr. Maia Dorsett, who developed the MEMAW tool, and by the National Registry of EMTs' Board of Directors for their excellent clinical care and life-saving work.
Thank you to you both for your excellence in EMS and for keeping your patients' best interests top of mind!
Sometimes a call for lift-assist reveals more than meets the eye.
After recognizing that a patient needed specialized care, a Battle Creek, Michigan EMS crew used the MEMAW Geriatric Assessment Tool to help identify the most appropriate hospital for transport, contributing to a favorable patient outcome.
The MEMAW tool was created by Dr. Maia Dorsett, a member of the National Registry Board of Directors, to support clinicians in evaluating older adult patients after a fall and identifying concerns that may warrant additional care.
To recognize the crew for putting the tool into action and advocating for their patient, Dr. Dorsett sent a personal thank-you note and a Division of Prehospital Medicine Save Coin, which our
Partner and Advocacy team had the privilege of delivering in person.
We are proud to celebrate clinicians who look beyond the obvious, ask the right questions, and use the tools available to help ensure their patients receive the care they need.
Thank you for your dedication to your patients, your communities, and the EMS profession.
