DRAFT <br /> ORANGE COUNTY EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES AS 0� <br /> EMS Strategic Planning Steering Committee 1215197 <br /> 9/21/94 <br /> MISSION STATEMENT: <br /> The vision of Orange County Emergency Medical Services is to <br /> participate as an integrated part of a seamless health care <br /> system that serves all citizens; a system where all <br /> components function collaboratively and cooperatively. <br /> VISION STATEMENT ELABORATED: <br /> We envision EMS as a part of a system that optimizes the <br /> appropriate use of emergency medical and rescue personnel. <br /> This system supports quality primary and continuing <br /> education for all out-of-hospital responders, dispatches <br /> appropriate personnel promptly, and delivers timely health <br /> care to assure optimum patient outcomes. <br /> This visionary system goes beyond the traditional approach <br /> of EMS and efficiently utilizes well trained personnel in an <br /> integrated effort to minimize cost, morbidity and mortality. <br />
