Reprising Page Wolfberg & Wirth Advisory Group’s blockbuster American Ambulance Association Conference & Trade Show conference session, join Steve Wirth and Doug Wolfberg for a member webinar offering insights into one of today’s most troubling mobile healthcare legal cases. The EMS community and the nation were captivated by the trial that resulted in the conviction of two Colorado paramedics for criminally negligent homicide in the death of Elijah McClain. And the murder charges against two Illinois EMTs in the death of Earl Moore, Jr. was yet another tragedy. These “first-of-their-kind” criminal actions against EMS practitioners exposed a myriad of issues that strike at the core of how we handle the typical – and not so typical – response to difficult patients and persons in police custody. In this eye-opening session, Doug and Steve will discuss the key themes that emerged in these cases that led to these tragic results. They will also outline the top five leadership actions that must be put into practice now to reduce risk as we move into a new world of greater scrutiny and accountability for the actions of our EMS practitioners.
