Strategic Visions
EMS Advisory Council's Strategic Visions Committee
Purpose: "Providing a forum for planning the continued development of the state's emergency medical services system through
the joint production of the emergency medical services state plan."
The EMS Advisory Council's Strategic Visions Committee, in partnership with the Florida Department of Health, and emergency medical services
constituency groups identified the strategic advantages and challenges of EMS in Florida and reviewed/referenced national and state initiatives such
as the Institute of Medicine's report on The Future of Emergency Care, Healthy People 2010, the National Scope of Practice for EMS Providers,
National EMS for Children Performance Measures, NHTSA's National Standard Curricula for EMS, Homeland Security's National Response Framework,
National Preparedness Goal and National Preparedness Guidelines, Governor Crist's Healthcare Policy, the State Surgeon General's Strategic
Priorities, and the FHA's report on Addressing the Crisis in Emergency Care. As a result, the team developed this comprehensive plan to guide all
those involved in Florida's emergency medical services system in order to enhance prehospital patient care.

Objective Lead Quarterly Updates
Objective leads are an EMS Advisory Council Subcommittee, constituency group, or other work group that is responsible for the fulfillment of a
specific objective. The chairperson of the committee or their designated liaison provide
action plan status reports to the Goal Owner, the Strategic
Visions Committee Leadership, and the Bureau of EMS Strategic Planning Coordinator. A consolidated report is provided to the Strategic Visions
Committee and the EMS community prior to or following each EMS Advisory Council
Meeting. This will assist the goal owners, who are members of the EMS
Advisory Council, provide their report to the EMS Advisory Council.
Following the EMS Advisory Council and Constituency Group Meetings, the assigned committees or workgroups submit updated action plans to their
respective goal owner (listed above) and the Strategic Visions Leadership Team
(listed above) regarding the status of their assigned objectives.
All committees
and workgroups are asked to use the online action plan tool above to report
current status updates. The Strategic Visions Committee suggests that you
continue to use the following template when developing and tracking your updates: EMSAC Strategic Planning Template (.doc 47.50kb/2 pages).
The template is a great way to track progress of all actions steps associated
with your assigned objective(s), develop final reports, and communicate with the
members of your groups. Please contact the Strategic Visions Committee Leadership Team if you need
assistance completing your action plan.
The goal owner is to receive a
copy of all action plans related to the objectives assigned under the goal in
which they provide oversight. This will allow them to serve as your voice
to the EMS Advisory Council. You must also include any challenges, best
practices, or reasons why an objective was not able to be completed. This
will assist the Strategic Visions Committee identify objectives for future
planning and to share best practices with other committees or workgroups that
may learn from your best practice. All of the action plans will be placed
in folders under their specific goal on this page so others may reference if
needed.
