The Ministry of Health, Emergency Health Services Division, is responsible under the Ambulance Act for publishing standards for patient care, documentation, safety, equipment requirements and transportation. These requirements are outlined in various paramedic practice documents such as standards, training bulletins, manuals and guides.
Standards set the requisites for paramedic practice; many are incorporated by reference in O. Reg 257/00 as made under the Ambulance Act. Training bulletins provide clarification regarding current issues or make amendments to existing standards and manuals and guides further direct practice.
