| By David Jaslow, FireRescue1 Columnist — Sponsored by FireRehab.com | ||
 |
Just as the emergency department must be lead by an emergency physician, the rehab sector must be organized, supervised and promoted by a dedicated individual whose sole responsibility is that sector. The rehab sector officer must operationalize the rehab SOP and make it a living document. He must supervise decision-making by clinical staff and act as a liaison with the EMS treatment officer and incident command.

It's great that cars are safer for the folks riding in them — no emergency responder likes a fatal MVA.
