Honoring Emergency Medical Services Week 2016

Can you remember a time when emergency medical service providers were relatively uncommon? Believe it or not, emergency medical service was not widely available in the United States until the late 1960s / early 1970s. In recognition of the critical role these providers would play in our society, President Gerald Ford instituted Emergency Medical Services Week in 1974. Originally observed in September, this week provided a special opportunity for unique programs designed to recognize and honor the brave men and women who offer their services as emergency medical service providers.

Observing Emergency Medical Services Week

Forty-two years later, Emergency Medical Services Week is still an integral part of the medical field and culture. By providing immediate medical attention both at the scene of an emergency and en route to the hospital, emergency service providers save lives on a daily basis as they respond to a wide variety of health emergencies, including cardiac arrest, difficulty breathing, drug overdose, stroke, drowning, car accidents, and more.

In 1992, the observance for Emergency Medical Services week was moved to the third week of May. This year, the observances are currently underway; Emergency Medical Services Week 2016 is from May 15th - 21st. On behalf of everyone at our physician recruiting firm, we would like to officially extend our deepest gratitude to the men and women who respond to emergency calls on a daily basis.

Statistics About Emergency Medical Service Providers

We are doing our part to raise awareness of the integral role our EMS providers play by taking this opportunity to share with you some of the interseting statistics we have found regarding emergency medical services in the United States. Keep reading to learn more about how important these individuals are to our culture.

These statistics taken from NAEMT.org:

There are 15,276 ambulance services in the U.S.
There are 840,669 EMS personnel in the U.S.
The 1,001-10,000 service calls per week range makes up for 47% of all call volume ranges.

These statistics taken from U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics:

The median pay for EMTs and paramedics is $15.38 per hour.
EMTs and paramedics are required to complete a postsecondary education program in order to be eligible to work in the field, but they are not typically required to have work experience in a related occupation.

We were unable to find recent statistics on how many service calls EMTs take every year; however, in 2009, there were an estimated 36,698,670 emergency responses (source: JEMS).

4 Winning Strategies To Enhance Your Company Culture

A successful company starts with a successful culture. In order to run a truly successful healthcare facility, you have to build a strong company culture among your physicians, nurses, and other hospital staff. Your team members will perform better (which equates to satisfied patients who return for more services) and be more likely to stay with your company longer (which equates to reduced recruiting and training costs). As an experienced medical recruiting firm, we understand the immense importance of a strong corporate culture and we strive to do everything we can to help you build one. Here are a few of our tried and true tips for improving the culture within your institution.

1. Show Each Employee How Their Role Fits Into The "Big Picture"
The workforce is continuously evolving, and the most important priorities for employees change with the decades. Many of today's workers are not content simply clocking in and clocking out - they want to understand how their roles impact the company as a whole. Demonstrating to each team member how their position affects the big picture may help boost morale - and, in turn, the organization's culture.

2. Make Upper-Level Management Accessible
Today's employees want to know that they matter to their managers and bosses. According to Healthcare Finance, the accessible presence of hospital CEOs and other leadership roles helps employees feel that the company's leaders have their team's best interests in mind. The days of delivering orders from behind a desk are long gone; hospitals that institute a two-way dialogue between employees and upper management typically rate much higher in employee satisfaction surveys.

3. Provide Feedback Regularly
Providing consistent feedback is becoming more and more important to today's employees - especially among the millennial generation (those born from around the early 1980s to the late 1990s). You don't have to hold a formal performance evaluation to provide feedback - though these are important and should be held at least once a year. However, a simple "good job on that procedure," or "your patient spoke very highly of your care," will go a long way.

4. Institute Peer Interviews
Hiring the right people is a critical step in the retention process. If you hire someone who is not fit for their role or your company, you will soon have to deal with the entire process of recruiting and training a new individual all over again. When our healthcare recruiting experts source candidates for our clients, we conduct an in-depth screening process to ensure that you interview only the applicants with the highest potential. We recommend taking this one step further by asking some of your top-performing staff to sit in on one of the final interviews with the applicant. Your team members are familiar with the day-to-day demands their positions require and may be more equipped to determine whether or not an applicant will be a good fit for the position.

The Hire Connection Can Help You Find GREAT Team Members
Finding high-quality physicians, nurses, and medical staff is the first step towards creating a winning company culture that retains employees who provide top-level care to your patients. Our physician recruitment experts are experienced individuals who undergo rigorous training to prepare them for the high demands of the recruitment field.
