Emergency medical services are a branch of emergency services dedicated to providing out-of-hospital acute medical care and/or transport to definitive care, to patients with illnesses and injuries which the patient, or the medical practitioner, believes constitutes a medical emergency. Some people require immediate transportation via EMS Ambulance, EMS Airplane, EMS Helicopter or EMS basic ground Transportation.

EMS, a worldwide abbreviated name, is known Internationally as a crisis medical service. EMS Services are available in Europe, Asia, South America, The United States, North America, Canada and Internationally. In the United States there is a Board EMS and the National Association of EMS.

The goal of most emergency medical services is to either provide treatment to those in need of urgent medical care, with the goal of satisfactorily treating the problem, especially trauma or arranging for timely removal of the patient to the next point of definitive care. This is most likely an emergency department at a hospital or another place where physicians are available. The term Emergency Medical Service evolved to reflect a change from a simple transportation system (ambulance service) to a system in which actual medical care occurred in addition to transportation. In some developing regions, the term is not used, or may be used inaccurately, since the service in question does not provide treatment to the patients, but only the provision of transport to the point of care.

Many reputable companies offer EMS Insurance and EMS Assistance services while traveling. There is a rather large international EMS network. Because EMS is so well known many companies, hospitals and physicians seek EMS Products, EMS Apparel, EMS Accessories, EMS Ring Tones and More. EMS is not only a crucial medical service offered by Physicians, Paramedics, Nurses and all Hospital Staff it is a huge multi-billion dollar industry!

In most places in the world, the EMS is summoned by members of the public (or other emergency services, businesses or authority) via an emergency telephone number which puts them in contact with a control facility, which will then dispatch a suitable resource to deal with the situation. In many cases Emergencies are accessed via a hand held devise such as a Blackberry or Laptop computer which makes direct marketing via the internet the best way for EMS to be found. We offer domain names such as EMSDR dot com, EMSDRS dot com, to EMS professionals seeking to gain internet credibility and have potential patients contact your offices via the internet. Recent research indicates more the 50% of all EMS inquiries may start on the internet and will serve as a great time saver to the old fashion way of calling information or trying to get a telephone number of a EMS center, EMS hospital or EMS Physician when names and addresses are not available.

In some parts of the world, the term EMS also encompasses services developed to move patients from one medical facility to an alternative one; inferring transfer to a higher level of care. In such services, the EMS is not summoned by members of the public but by clinical professionals (eg. physicians or nurses) in the referring facility. Specialized hospitals that provide higher levels of care may include services such as neonatal intensive care (NICU), pediatric intensive care (PICU), state regional burn centers, specialized care for spinal injury and/or neurosurgery, regional stroke centers, specialized cardiac care cardiac catherization, and specialized/regional trauma care.

In some jurisdictions, EMS units may handle technical rescue operations such as extrication, water rescue, and search and rescue. Training and qualification levels for members and employees of emergency medical services vary widely throughout the world. In some systems, members may be present who are qualified only to drive the ambulance, with no medical training. In contrast, most systems have personnel who retain at least basic first aid certifications, such as Basic Life Support (BLS). Additionally many EMS systems are staffed with Advanced Life Support (ALS) personnel, including paramedics, nurses, or, less commonly, physicians.

Emergency medical services exists to fulfill the basic principles of first aid, which are to Preserve Life, Prevent Further Injury, and Promote Recovery.

This common theme in medicine is demonstrated by the star of life. The Star of Life is where each of the 'arms' to the star represent one of the 6 points. These 6 points are used to represent the six stages of high quality pre-hospital care, which are:

1. Early Detection - Members of the public, or another agency, find the incident and understand the problem
2. Early Reporting- The first persons on scene make a call to the emergency medical services and provide details to enable a response to be mounted
3. Early Response - The first professional (EMS) rescuers arrive on scene as quickly as possible, enabling care to begin
4. Good On Scene Care - The emergency medical service provides appropriate and timely interventions to treat the patient at the scene of the incident
5. Care in Transit - the emergency medical service load the patient in to suitable transport and continue to provide appropriate medical care throughout the journey
6. Transfer to Definitive Care - the patient is handed over to an appropriate care setting, such as the emergency department at a hospital, in to the care of physicians.
