Abstract :
Medical errors in pre-hospital emergency care present significant challenges, often leading to compromised patient outcomes and increased healthcare costs. These errors, including diagnostic inaccuracies, medication mistakes, and communication failures, highlight the need for innovative solutions to enhance EMS operations. This article explores the impact of simulation-based training, continuous professional development, artificial intelligence tools, and telemedicine on reducing errors in EMS. By reviewing recent evidence and advancements, the study underscores the effectiveness of integrating training and technology interventions to improve paramedic performance, enhance patient safety, and optimize pre-hospital care.
Keywords: Medical errors, pre-hospital care, emergency medical services, paramedic training, artificial intelligence, telemedicine, simulation-based training, patient safety, EMS technologies, healthcare innovation.
