摘要

This study was conducted to better understand the experiences of Critical Access Hospitals in operating an EMS unit. Using key informant interviews, we examine motivations for acquiring EMS services and the effect of these services on the level of emergency care available in a community. The benefits and challenges that CAH providers face in operating EMS services are discussed. The findings and analyses are based on a review of the literature on rural ambulance services and structured interviews, conducted in 2005 and 2006, with administrators and ambulance staff from five CAHs located across the country. Each of the hospital representatives contacted as part of this study indicated that Medicare was their largest single payer for EMS services and that they were reimbursed under the new ambulance fee schedule. These interviews served to confirm many of the findings from the literature review and provided valuable insights on the experiences of CAHs that acquire ambulance services and are reimbursed under the fee schedule.
