An in-depth study of Emergency Medical Services capabilities and challenges in Jefferson County by the Wisconsin Policy Forum has found that greater collaboration among existing providers and potential involvement by county government could ease challenges and help in preparing for the future.
The Wisconsin Policy Forum, a statewide, non-partisan, independent policy research organization analyzes issues affecting local governments and, in this situation, gives leaders options in developing plans for dealing with staffing shortages and growing demands affecting EMS units.
“Our research and facilitation activities encourage elected officials and community leaders to find effective, data-driven solutions to pressing policy challenges and promotes productive discussion among the public and private sectors,” the group’s website said.
