Definition

  • Emergency medical care is typically defined as medical services provided by pre-hospital care providers such as first responders, emergency medical technicians, and paramedics. Most people identify emergency medical services as the ambulance service; however, emergency medical care may also be provided by the fire department or law enforcement until an ambulance arrives.
