On an EMS run where an unknown first responder, EMT, physician, or other person rendering aid is not
from the responding EMS agency the following steps should be initiated:
1.
Ideally, if no further assistance is needed, the offer for assistance should be courteously declined.
2.
If the intervener is known to EMS and assistance may significantly contribute to patient care, aid may be
rendered in accordance with this Trumbull Memorial Hospital EMS protocol.
3.
Material aid should not be provided to any provider unknown to the EMS crew.
4.
Notation of intervener name and address must be documented on the run report.
In cases of the Physician in his/her office or urgent care center:
1.
EMS should perform its duties as usual under the supervision of medical direction or by protocol.
2.
The physician may elect to treat the patient in his/her office.
3.
The EMS provider should not provide any treatment under the physician’s direction, and if asked, the EMS
provider should courteously decline until contact is made with medical direction.
4.
Once the patient has been transferred into the squad, the patient’s care comes under medical direction.
