This bill mandates that emergency medical services (EMS) units and providers must submit incident reports to the division of fire standards and training and emergency medical services within a specified timeframe of 7 days. The bill amends existing law by adding a requirement for these reports while also emphasizing the importance of maintaining patient confidentiality in the handling of records.
Specifically, the bill modifies RSA 153-A:20, IV by inserting language that requires EMS units or providers to submit an emergency medical services incident report to the division within 7 days. This new requirement aims to enhance accountability and ensure timely reporting of incidents. The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage.
