Florida EMS Voices: What Agency Providers Told Us in 2025
No full textThe 2025 Annual Florida EMS Provider Survey provides a comprehensive overview of Florida’s EMS system, highlighting critical insights into workforce dynamics, resource allocation, medical direction, and service integration across EMS agencies statewide. Conducted from April to May 2025, the survey received robust participation from 249 agencies, covering 74.5% of licensed EMS providers. Key findings underscore regional variability in workforce recruitment, salary scales, mental health support, mobile integrated healthcare (MIH), and preparedness for mass casualty incidents.
Key areas of strategic emphasis include EMT and paramedic mental health and wellness, mobile integrated healthcare (MIH), and local quality improvement (QI) efforts. Notably, recruitment efforts targeting youth and structured retention strategies appear widespread but inconsistently implemented. EMS workforce analyses reveal a stable EMT workforce contrasted by persistent paramedic vacancies, highlighting areas requiring targeted workforce development interventions. Salary disparities across regions and experience levels also suggest opportunities for statewide salary benchmarking and policy adjustments.
EMS agencies demonstrate active engagement in mental health programming, with significant efforts towards resiliency and behavioral health initiatives, although gaps remain in resource consistency and sufficiency. MIH programs, widely present, show promise in addressing social determinants of health, but funding sustainability and inter-agency collaboration require further development.
Overall, the survey identifies critical points of strength and clear areas for improvement, providing foundational data to inform state EMS planning, resource allocation, and strategic policy decisions aimed at enhancing Florida’s prehospital EMS system.https://digitalcommons.usf.edu/flcems_reports/1002/thumbnail.jp
