摘要

多年来，美国农村地区的紧急医疗服务（EMS）长期受到资源不足和人员不足的困扰。赤字在很大程度上是由于EMS的资金来源以及人员和设备的不足。有执照的志愿者经常在农村地区的急救单位工作，但由于人数减少，招聘和保留熟练的专业人员和志愿护理人员受到阻碍。如果要避免我国救护车沙漠的进一步扩大，就必须采取政策行动，为农村紧急医疗服务提供充足的资金，并重新构想。

How Should We Fund and Reimagine EMS to Support Sustainable Rural Health Infrastructure?

Emergency medical services (EMS) care in rural areas of the United States has suffered from being chronically under-resourced and understaffed for many years. Deficits, to a large extent, are due to how EMS is funded and due to shortfalls in staffing and equipment. Licensed volunteers often staff EMS units in rural areas, but recruitment and retention of skilled professional and volunteer caregivers is stifled by waning numbers. If further expansion of our nation's ambulance deserts is to be avoided, policy action must be taken to adequately fund, as well as to reimagine, rural EMS care.
