@michaelbmarlin @HandtevyMD In our system in Lincoln, we have found good success by having acetaminophen available. We have patients who are wanting nonnarcotics. Also the cost is eaten by the system as EMS cannot item bill as the hospital can. We bill level of care only.
Happy EMS Week to all of the amazing prehospital clinicians I have the pleasure and honor of working with everyday! You inspire me with your care and compassion. “As always thank you for your service, and thank you for choosing (insert hospital) today!” #EMSWeek2024
