CHAPTER 1: Introduction to Emergency Medical Care
1) Which of the following refers to a program or process for evaluating and improving the effectiveness
of an EMS system?
A) Quality improvement
B) System effectiveness management
C) Process Improvement Plan (PIP)
D) Total quality system –
A) CORRECT. Quality improvement (QI) consists of continuous self-review with the purpose of
identifying aspects of the EMS system that require improvement, with subsequent action plans to make
subsequent changes.
B) INCORRECT. System effectiveness management does not refer to a program of evaluating and
improving an EMS system.
C) INCORRECT. A program or process for evaluating and improving the effectiveness of an EMS
system is not referred to as a Process Improvement Program.
D) INCORRECT. The term "total quality system" does not refer to a program for improving the
effectiveness of EMS systems.
2) Which of the following groups is credited with developing the earliest documented emergency medical
service?
A) The Spanish
B) The Egyptians
C) The Mayans
D) The French - Explanation:
A) INCORRECT. The Spanish did not develop the first documented emergency medical service; the
TB
French did in the 1700s.
