TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Government Regulation of EMS A1 - Williams, Abigail R. A2 - Cooney, Derek R. PY - 2016 T2 - Cooney's EMS Medicine AB - Regulatory oversight of emergency medical services occurs primarily at the state level based on the provision laid out in the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Systems Act of 1973. Despite this fact various levels of regulation exist at various levels of government in order to address the needs of the overall system. In addition to governmental agencies, some nongovernmental entities have produced standards that have been adopted by many jurisdictions (federal and state), making them de facto parts of the regulatory structure, despite their lack of regulatory authority.
