Technological Transformations

As you may have heard, EMS World has partnered with the EMS Redline Association and will be managing the the EMS Redline Executive Summit, scheduled for March 6–7, 2014, at the Rosen Centre in Orlando, FL.

With more than 50 exhibitors, 10+ sessions covering the latest in technology and business practices to foster growth for your agency, and the addition of the Mobile Integrated Healthcare Update and the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians’ (NAEMT) Board meeting, this year’s event promises to be of great value to industry leaders and IT executives.

The technology track reviews cutting-edge innovations that are revolutionizing the way patient care and transportation are provided and managed. The Collaboration & Business Development track offers strategies designed to improve client satisfaction, increase revenue and satisfy stakeholders. The event is $100 for EMS Redline members and $200 for non-members. Register today at Redlinesummit.com.

The business of EMS is at the heart of this month’s issue as well, as we present the 2014 Buyer’s Guide. As we say on the cover, this is the most comprehensive listing of companies, products and services in the EMS profession. The company index on page 34 lists companies by name and the product index on page 84 lists companies by product category. Check out the newest products in the marketplace in our product showcase starting on page 97, which features products from many of the advertisers in this issue. You can also access company and product information through our online Product Guide at EMSWorld.com/directory.

As this year draws to a close, I would like to thank you, the reader, for all your support, and wish everyone a safe and happy New Year!
