CRM emergency medical teams

Lack of communication, poor decision making, lack of situational awareness, poor task allocation and leadership failures are listed as factors contributing to the deficiencies in the service provided with regard to teamwork.

Since the factors are the same as those cited in aviation disaster reports, the application of CRM to the emergency medical service is logical.

Just as the use of CRM in aviation contributes to greater mission safety, in the medical emergency CRM contributes to greater patient safety.

At UNA Aviation, we have decided to take this concept, transform it and adapt it to the reality of the operations carried out by emergency medical professionals, with the full conviction that it will make all the difference in patient safety and team performance.

The implementation of CRM in the operations performed by emergency medical teams is a decisive factor for the safety of these operations, namely for the safety of patients.

There is no doubt that there is a risk associated with each task, and the risks related to the activities carried out by medical teams are extremely high due to the constraints of this operation.

The aim of our CRM course is to contribute to empower emergency medical teams to adopt and implement a non-technical skills paradigm approach for the prevention of errors, injuries and fatalities, thus significantly increasing patient safety.
