MODEL EMS SYSTEMS

OEMS regulations (10-NCAC-3D.2602) set out criteria under which EMS programs in the state may apply to become a "model system."  This voluntary program, similar in many ways to an accreditation process, recognizes systems which choose to go beyond the minimum requirements.  To meet the requirement, a county must submit an application to OEMS for such designation showing that it not only meets the state's minimum standards, but also those additional requirements addressed in this section. Such a designation is for a six year period, at which time another application is required.

Formal presentation of certificates is usually made at the quarterly meetings of the State EMS Advisory Council.

The following systems have been designated as model systems since implementation of the program:
