Screening and Brief Intervention Toolkit for the Hispanic Patient (NHMA) (Report)

Screening and Brief Intervention Toolkit for the Hispanic Patient (NHMA) (Report)


Product ID: 810 953
IMPLICATIONS FOR HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY:  Screening and brief intervention have been shown to be effective strategies for reducing impaired driving as well as alcohol misuse.  The Hispanic population, particularly Hispanic males, are at a greater risk for involvement in alcohol-related crashes and fatalities.  The Hispanic Toolkit has been developed for use in emergency rooms, trauma centers and other healthcare settings.  The primary audience for the materials is nurses, doctors, counselors, and other healthcare professionals who have an opportunity to conduct SBI with Spanish-speaking patients.  NHTSA regional offices and State Highway Safety Offices can disseminate these toolkits and promote their use in Hispanic communities to hospitals, trauma centers, doctors, and other healthcare professionals.

Identification and Referral of Impaired Drivers through Emergency Department Protocols (Report)

Identification and Referral of Impaired Drivers through Emergency Department Protocols (Report)


Product ID: 809 412
This report discusses the investigation conducted to determine whether an emergency department (ED) intervention protocol could identify and refer patients with alcohol abuse or alcohol dependency (AA/AD) and result in more patients receiving treatment and evaluation for substance abuse.  Of patients treated in emergency departments following motor vehicle crashes , 15-20 % are at high risk for AA/AD, and are likely to drive after drinking.  In order to intervene with patients at high risk in the ED, a reliable and quick screening procedure and a method of intervening must be available.  An ED protocol for screening and intervention for patients at high risk of AA/AD increases the likelihood of receiving definitive treatment for AA/AD.  Three color, 8.5" x 11", 26 pages.

National EMS Advisory Council Annual Report

National EMS Advisory Council Annual Report


Product ID: 811 705

The National EMS Advisory Council presents this Summary Report with the hope that it promotes clear priorities, a strong vision for the future, and thoughtful and effective leadership on vital issues facing emergency medical services throughout the United States.

Some time ago, the Council members went through a systematic process to identify the topics we con sidered most important to pursue. We began with a list of more than 80 possibilities, from which emerged a short list of top priorities. The issues highlighted in this report represent fundamental concerns—some of the most challenging and important issues of our time. They have the potential to strengthen the care we provide to patients now and in the future, and significantly enhance the sustainability of EMS while enabling us
to offer even greater value to society.

Recommendations for the Safe Transportation of Children in Ground Ambulances

Recommendations for the Safe Transportation of Children in Ground Ambulances


Product ID: 811 677

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation initiated a project in September 2008 titled “Solutions to Safely Transport Children in Emergency Vehicles.” The major objectives of this project were to:

1. Build consensus in the development of a uniform set of recommendations to safely and appropriately transport children (injured, ill, or uninjured) from the scene of a crash or other incident in an ambulance;

2. To foster the creation of best practice recommendations after reviewing the practices currently being used to transport children in ambulances; and

3. To provide consistent national recommendations that will be embraced by local, State and national emergency medical services organizations, enabling them to reduce the frequency of emergency transport of ill, injured or uninjured children who may be transported in an unsafe or inappropriate manner.

To achieve these major objectives, a working group was formed; the working group was comprised of members with experience, background, and extensive knowledge in the current practices of the emergency transportation of children in ground ambulances. The expert members of the working group were drawn from those organizations and entities involved in the health care of children and the emergency transportation of children and others in ground ambulances. It should be noted that throughout the remainder of this document, references to ambulances are limited to ground ambulances, unless otherwise stated. Also, based upon the deliberations of the working group, it was decided to use the terms “child” or “children” versus “youth” to the extent practical throughout the remainder of this document, to represent all children, starting at birth.
