Slides: Frequent Citations and How to Address Them in Advance
Frequent Citations and How to Address Them in Advance - PowerPointSpeaker: Patricia Tritt
Moderator: Jennifer Anderson Warwick
Recorded October 14, 2020.
Site visits can appear to be a mystery and the Program Director wonders “What will they be looking for?” The answer is fairly simple, and the self-study and site visit process is actually an open book test. The CAAHEP Standards and Guidelines and the CoAEMSP Interpretation documents provide the “test items” and the Executive Analysis raises potential problems the Program has the opportunity to address prior to the site visit. When the Program adopts the “accreditation is an everyday activity” philosophy, the necessary evidence is compiled throughout the accreditation cycle. This presentation will explore the most frequently occurring citations and review the keys to avoid succumbing to these pitfalls.

Chair of the Board Chief Paul Berlin and Executive Director Dr. George Hatch will provide an update on the activities of the Committee on Accreditation of EMS Professions (CoAEMSP) and discuss the strategic outlook of the organization moving EMS education via credible education.
This is an opportunity to discuss issues, including hearing from the CoAEMSP’s communities of interest on topics of importance; seeking an understanding of the goals and values of the CoAEMSP; asking questions of the CoAEMSP leadership and give feedback; informing Paramedic educational programs about emerging issues in accreditation; informing the CoAEMSP about emerging issues from the perspective of programs; gauging where the communities of interest stand on certain subjects; and serving as a place to identify possible solutions to a problem.

The CoAEMSP has adopted through policies interpretations of the CAAHEP Standards and Guidelines for the Accreditation of Educational Programs in the Emergency Medical Services Professions. The purpose of the interpretations is to assist Paramedic programs in understanding and maintaining compliance with the new CAAHEP Standards. The interpretations include examples of how programs may choose to demonstrate compliance with each standard. We will share best practices on how your program can use the interpretations to its advantage.
