The Task Force on Emergency Medical Services will examine the system-wide delivery of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) in the District of Columbia. It will give practical, timely, and strategic guidance on how to improve this critical service. The task force will focus on how the District can improve the management, training, operations and culture of the EMS function to provide the highest quality of professional and compassionate pre-hospital medical care. The task force will conclude its work by submitting a targeted set of recommendations and an implementation plan with input, process, and output metrics, to the Mayor and DC Council.
