AB  - An  emergency  medical  services  (EMS)  agency  medical  director  usually  focuses  primarily  on  the  oversight  of  the  care  provided  directly  to  patients  and  their  families.  One  of  the  medical  director's  other  main  concerns  is  that  of  the  health  and  safety  of  the  EMS  providers.  These  concerns  overlap  in  a  number  of  ways.  This  chapter  specifically  deals  with  diversion  issues  and  identifying  and  managing  potentially  impaired  providers.  The  more  an  EMS  physician  knows  about  diversion  of  narcotics  and  other  substances,  the  more  likely  they  are  to  be  able  to  properly  oversee  the  EMS  agency–controlled  substance  program  and  to  help  safeguard  the  health  and  safety  of  patients  and  EMS  providers  alike.
