Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Advisory Council's Strategic Visions Committee
The EMS Advisory Council's Strategic Visions Committee in partnership with the Florida Department of
Health and Emergency Medical Services constituency groups identified the strategic advantages and
challenges of EMS in the state of Florida.
The goals and supporting objectives were presented to the Florida EMS Advisory Council for endorsement in January 2012. The council unanimously endorsed these recommendations and will focus on implementing strategies that ensure
prompt, efficient and quality EMS services.
This comprehensive plan was developed to guide all those involved in Florida's Emergency
Medical Services system in order to enhance prehospital patient care.

Following the EMS Advisory Council and Constituency Group Meetings, the assigned committees or workgroups submit updated action plans to their
respective goal owner (listed above) and the Strategic Visions Leadership Team
(listed above) regarding the status of their assigned objectives.
All committees
and workgroups are asked to use the online action plan tool above to report
current status updates. The Strategic Visions Committee suggests that you
continue to use the following template when developing and tracking your updates: EMSAC Strategic Planning Template.
The template is a great way to track progress of all actions steps associated
with your assigned objective(s), develop final reports, and communicate with the
members of your groups. Please contact the Strategic Visions Committee Leadership Team if you need
assistance completing your action plan.
The goal owner is to receive a
copy of all action plans related to the objectives assigned under the goal in
which they provide oversight. This will allow them to serve as your voice
to the EMS Advisory Council. You must also include any challenges, best
practices, or reasons why an objective was not able to be completed. This
will assist the Strategic Visions Committee identify objectives for future
planning and to share best practices with other committees or workgroups that
may learn from your best practice. All of the action plans will be placed
in folders under their specific goal on this page so others may reference if
needed.
