Bill > LB569

This bill modifies the duties of the Board of Emergency Medical Services within the Emergency Medical Services Practice Act, primarily changing the frequency and content of their reporting requirements. Specifically, the bill removes the previous requirement for a review every five years and instead mandates an annual electronic report to the Legislature. The new report must include detailed aggregate data such as the number of emergency medical services (EMS) telephone calls, calls by organizational status, types of patient care, average response times, patient age ranges, nature of patient complaints, provider impressions, patient dispositions, number of active EMS providers in Nebraska, and comparative data with other national regions or states. The bill maintains the board's existing responsibilities, which include promoting public education about emergency medical services, evaluating emergency medical care quality, establishing patient management procedures, and identifying communication needs for emergency care providers. The changes aim to provide more frequent and comprehensive reporting on emergency medical services in Nebraska.
