Essay Assignment

Emergency medical services (EMS) began with the shaky history of hearses as transport vehicles and the idea that they waited for the patients to die as there was more money in funerals than in a drive to the hospital. The financial ethics and morals of EMS are still questioned. One of the important skills you can gain from this course is simply being able to explain the importance and purpose of financial management and business ethics within an EMS system, so that is what this assignment covers. In your own words, draft a one-page response of how both personal and business ethics shape the current status of EMS.

Use your current knowledge about financial management and EMS systems. By the end of the course, you should be able to provide a much more elaborate response. The purpose of this question is to allow you to begin thinking critically about the purpose of financial management for EMS systems and to understand how it affects the entire system. Follow APA style when formatting your assignment and when creating your references and in-text citations.
