Emergency medical service training in Oklahoma: Current and future needs
No full textTo gain an understanding of EMS training needs in Oklahoma, data To gain an understanding of EMS training needs in Oklahoma, data on 1,708 trainees were analyzed. Information provided on EMS course application forms included primary occupation, educational level, age, sex, type of application, EMT experience, and type of EMT service for each trainee. The large number of trainees (1 ,708) in comparison to the number of EMS personnel (2,151) indicated a fairly large turnover rate in 1980. It was assumed that similar training needs would continue through the next ten years.Twenty-three training sites were established by 1980. Ten other sites were under consideration by the State Health Department. A computer model was used to select additional training sites from the 10 potential sites; the objective was to minimize the average distance trainees would travel. Potential sites were added to the present 23 to form the most efficient combinations of 24 through 33 training sites. Each EMS or first responder site was assigned to the optimum training site available in each combination of training sites. Average and maximum distances trainees would travel to each training site were calculated. The number of trainees (BLS, ALS, first responder) per site was estimated for 1985 and 1990 based on population projections per county. The theory of the computer model is provided in one of the appendices
