0:00.0	This episode is sponsored by Global Medical Response, yet another sponsor that I have tracked down
0:05.8	because they have a solution to one of the biggest problems we have in emergency medicine and
0:10.5	healthcare. We often hear the term 911 abuse, but what I love is the concept that this should be
0:16.7	a three-tier system, ALS, BLS, and then the non-emergent element.
0:22.9	With the evolution of telehealth and telemedicine, that third tier is now possible virtually.
0:29.1	In 2018, Global Medical Response pioneered 911 Nurse Navigation.
0:35.7	In communities across the country, GMR's nurse navigators use evidence-based
0:40.5	clinical protocols to screen a patient's current condition, providing an appropriate resource
0:46.0	to meet the patient's unique health care needs, whether that's dispatching a ride share to an
0:51.4	urgent care, an appointment at a federally qualified health center,
0:55.9	or virtual care with a physician on the spot. The five-level screening system ensures patients
1:01.7	receive the right resource at the right time in the right setting to achieve the right outcome
1:07.0	at the right cost. So as a huge advocate for our first responders' health and of course
1:12.2	the people that we serve, this solves three issues. It allows the patient to have a far less
1:18.3	expensive option when it comes to their non-emergent issue. It stops a firefighter or a paramedic
1:24.3	being woken up for that call and it frees up in ER bed for a true emergency.
1:30.7	So if you want to hear more about how GMR can integrate nurse navigation in your 911 system,
1:37.3	listen to episode 9198 with Joshua Rose and Dr. Jared Troutman or go to global medical response.com.
1:47.7	This episode is sponsored by TeamBuilder, yet another company that's doing great things for
1:53.0	the first responder community. As a strength and conditioning coach myself who also trains
1:58.2	tactical athletes, dissemination of wellness information is one of the
2:02.7	biggest challenges. Now, TeamBuilder is the premier strength conditioning software for tactical
