A 4022 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires DOH to develop Statewide Emergency Medical Services Plan.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Health (DOH) to create and maintain a Statewide Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Plan. The plan must include a comprehensive system for coordinating EMS resources, improving response times, expanding access to care (especially in underserved areas), and establishing performance metrics for measuring outcomes. It mandates the DOH to inventory existing EMS resources, assess current system effectiveness, develop regional plans with county health boards, and update the plan every three years - making it publicly available online. The plan directly affects all EMS providers, hospitals, and emergency dispatch centers across New Jersey, aiming to enhance patient outcomes and system efficiency.
