abstract="The New York State Department of Health is developing a statewide system of emergency health services which includes medical defense, accident prevention and injury control, investigating physical requirements for driver licensing, administration of ambulance regulations, training of ambulance attendants, designing a statewide system of emergency health communications, research, and the establishment of 30 area emergency medical care committees with full-time staff.  Although ultimately dependent on hospital emergency department cooperation and performance, the emergency health services system is largely a universe composed of agencies and organizations outside of the hospital such as community colleges; state troopers; sheriffs, village, city, and town police; fire department; Red Cross; civil defense; emergency operating centers; central dispatching agencies; local government; the Interdepartmental Traffic Safety Committee; the regional office of the Federal Department of Transportation; Comprehensive Health Planning and Regional Medical Program; the State Medial Society; and the State Hospital Association.<p />",
