Calgary Regional EMS Partnership

In February 2003, representatives from all EMS services in the new region agreed to develop a new level of working relationship, which is defined in this charter. We also agreed that the Calgary Hospital Patient Transfer Service and Alberta Shock Trauma Air Rescue Society should also be represented on the team, as they are active providers of out of hospital care in the region. As of October 2007, we have made significant progress establishing a team relationship, have revised and ratified the team charter, and undertaken a review of our strategic plan.

The key mandate of the Calgary Regional EMS Partnership is to advance and align the provision of excellent pre-hospital emergency care. Equally important is the communication and decision-making links with the Calgary Health Region and all other emergency care providers. A new regional health care delivery model will introduce new systems, procedures, and expectations. We intend to 'collaborate, innovate, and achieve cost efficiencies' as expert partners of the Calgary Health Region, and by doing so, actively influence the evolution of out of hospital patient care delivery.

Our Shared Values

The team's shared values are consistent with our mission statement. In our dealings with other groups and

with ourselves, our actions and decisions will be guided by these values:

•   We develop effective working relationships, and honour the needs of others we work with.

•   We communicate in a timely, open, and honest manner.

•   We are accountable for our actions and decisions, both individually and as a group.

•   Our focus is on the best interests of patients and the community.

•   We respect the uniqueness of the communities and services represented on the team
