CCMP Survey

[Guest guest]

The Texas EMS, Trauma & Acute Care Foundation would like to assess how

far reaching the interest is in EMS providers in Texas becoming

Comprehensive Clinical Management Program (CCMP) certified. CCMP is the

next step in the evolution of EMS in Texas. Even though the CCMP is

offered as a " recertification " option, it is truly an EMS provider

function. The CCMP is not simply minimum standards that a provider must

meet for a state license. It is a voluntary option that EMS providers

may attempt in order to raise the bar in their communities. Operating a

successful CCMP will require experience and resources that many

providers will not want to dedicate on a full time basis. There is

nothing wrong with that decision; participating in the CCMP is strictly

voluntary. EMS providers that choose to attempt this option are doing so

of their own free will and accept the higher standards imposed by a

program such as the CCMP.

TETAF has visited with the Texas Department of State Health Services

regarding the possibility of TETAF becoming a surveyor for the CCMP

process. TETAF and DSHS would like to gauge how broad the interest is in

pursuing CCMP certification by EMS providers. Your responses will help

determine how TETAF should move forward with CCMP. Thank you for your

time in responding to this quick survey.
