"Allina Health EMS is much more than an ambulance and medical transportation
service," says Medical Director Charles Lick, M. "One of our highest priorities is
aggressively investigating new EMS technologies and techniques, determining
their value based on the latest science, then putting those methods and devices to
work as early as possible." This focus has evolved along with the growing
recognition of the value of evidence-based medicine. "As EMS departments
became more sophisticated, we began to realize that we should become more data-
driven so that we could document reasons for everything we did," says Susan
Long, director of Clinical and Support Services.
Our approach has given us a reputation in the EMS field as not just early
adopters, but innovators. More important, it lets us bring the latest proven clinical
advances to our patients more quickly than most EMS systems.

Allina Health EMS believes that excellent patient care begins with EMS
education that is rooted in foundational basic life support skills/interventions and
enhanced by appropriate, evidenced-based advanced skills/interventions. Allina
Health EMS also believes that not all care is clinical in nature and often, it is non-
clinical care that can enhance the care given to a patient. Allina Health EMS
believes it is the intersection of clinical and non-clinical care that leads to
excellence in patient care.
