EMS has always answered the call. But what if the system that created EMS is the very thing holding it back?

In this Clarity Special Edition of The Leadership Lab, Asbel Montes sits down with Dr. Hawnwan Philip Moy, Emergency Physician, EMS Medical Director, and incoming President of the National Association of EMS Physicians (NAEMSP), to make the case for why physicians must step into the room where healthcare policy is written.

Recorded live at Solutions Group’s 5th Annual Clarity User Summit in Laguna Beach, California, Dr. Moy breaks down the structural argument for moving EMS out of the Department of Transportation and into Health and Human Services, why the “you call, we haul, that’s all” reimbursement model is failing patients and providers alike, and what it actually costs when the system chooses reaction over prevention. He also issues a direct call to his physician colleagues: your clinical experience is more powerful in the policy room than you think. Stop waiting to be invited in.

Topics covered in this episode:

• The 1966 White Paper that put EMS under the DOT, and why that needs to change
• Why ground EMS crews that save lives but don’t transport go unpaid
• EMTALA, the uninsured, and the real cost of reactive medicine
• What NAEMSP’s next generation of leadership looks like
• How physicians can engage healthcare economics without needing an MBA

If you work in EMS, emergency medicine, healthcare administration, or policy, this conversation is for you.
