EMS professionals work under protocols approved by physicians designated as Off Line Medical Control. The physician oversees the care of patients in EMS systems is knowledgeable about out-of-hospital patient care interventions and delivery systems. Typically, the physicians work in conjunction with local EMS managers to assure quality patient care. EMS may be provided by a fire department, a private ambulance service, a county or government-based service, a hospital-based service, or a combination of the above. EMS professionals may be paid or serve as volunteers in the community.
