Leaders in Emergency Medical Services

In 1959 the SRA-Saskatchewan Road Ambulance was created as a non-profit organization to answer the need for a unified body to represent the ambulance profession in Saskatchewan. The organization was established to provide guidance, support and a common voice on behalf of all ambulance services within Saskatchewan.  In later years, the name changed to SAA-Saskatchewan Ambulance Association.

        In May 2000, the Saskatchewan Ambulance Association merged with the Saskatchewan Emergency Medical Services Leadership Forum to create the Saskatchewan Emergency Medical Services Association. Building on the foundation of the past, SEMSA continues to forge a future for Emergency Medical Services (EMS) in this province.

        Today SEMSA represents 90 out of 110 ambulance services within the province of Saskatchewan. Our mission today has evolved to play a large role in the "best practices" for this province. However we remain grounded to our past providing guidance, support and a common voice on behalf of all.

bulletEMS AND AIR MEDICAL REVIEWS COMPLETED
bulletHealth Minister Don McMorris today released reports on Saskatchewan's road and air ambulance systems.
bulletThe reviews were initiated late last year to provide a basis for future planning and delivery of emergency medical services (EMS) in the province.
bullet"These reports are the result of extensive consultation with health professionals, health regions and health sector stakeholders," McMorris said, following a meeting with the Saskatchewan Emergency Medical Services Association (SEMSA) and regional health authority representatives. "They provide us with a much-needed road map for sustainable, efficient and fair emergency medical services that meet the needs of all residents of Saskatchewan."
bulletThe reviews were co-ordinated with the government's Patient First Review, and recommendations related to the provision of EMS are consistent.
bulletAmong the key recommendations in the EMS Review is a shift to a "Mobile Health Services" system that is more integrated with other areas of the health care system. This new vision includes opportunities for augmenting patient care at the community level. The report also identifies inter-hospital transfer fees and a lack of consistency in services across the province as areas of concern.
bulletThe Air Medical Review was conducted by Ornge, an organization that provides road ambulance and air medical services across Ontario.
"I sincerely thank the individuals and organizations who offered their thoughts and suggestions during these reviews," McMorris said. "We are committed to following up on the reports, and taking action that will benefit patients."
bulletThe recommendations will be considered in the 2010-2011 budget process.
bulletCopies of the reports are posted at www.health.gov.sk.ca/ems-review-report
