EMS basically stands for Emergency Medical Service and it is a service offering out-of-hospital delicate care and transportation to ultimate care, to patients with injuries and sicknesses which the patient deems amount to a medical emergency. EMS system is actually more than even an ambulance service. It consists of the call center that collects the call for and sends off aid, those who act in response first such as the firefighters and the police officers, an ambulance transportation squad of EMTs and paramedics, nurses and physicians who offer guidance by means of phone and radio, air medical services such as small airplanes and helicopters, sanatorium collecting amenities, and governmental and medicinal oversight. The Emergency Medical Service department primarily ensures that these services are delivered appropriately to the people in order to minimize untimely deaths as well as disabilities from delicate sickness and injury (Daskin, 1982).
