PY - 2016 T2 - Cooney's EMS Medicine AB - Medical directors play an integral role in the care of patients in the prehospital setting. Along with the ability to have a positive impact on the care of the patient goes the responsibility to strive for the best possible outcome. Medical directors must ensure that they carry out their roles with the due care which the law will impose on them. The failure to carefully carry out their roles may not only result in harm to the patient, but also to liability of the physician and the physician's employer.
