Is there a state entity that provides training related to the how to and reasons for a clinical investigation?
There are no clinical investigation “training programs” but the process is as follows: • Investigations are usually initiated after a report is made to OEMS in the form of a complaint against a service, EMS provider, or both. These complaints may be submitted by a patient, family member, bystander, first responder, hospital staff, or other pre-hospital provider. Each Region is also bound by regulation to report any violation of 105 CMR 170.000 (these are the EMS regulations which cover everything from ambulance licensing requirements to adherence to protocols). Sometimes, these reports are made by the service itself since they have a duty to report serious incidents. Such reportable incidents include, but are not limited to: • Medication errors resulting in serious injury; • Failure to provide treatment in accordance with the Statewide Treatment Protocols resulting in serious injury; or • Major medical or communications device failure, or other equipment failure or user error resulting
