Although some may consider patients with undifferentiated conditions difficult or frustrating problems to manage in the prehospital setting, others may find them to be a complex challenge. EMS clinicians must approach such patients with the same degree of consistency they do for other clinical situations, such as trauma or cardiac arrest. Pursuit of medical inquiry coupled with knowledgeable clinical decision making lead to optimal EMS courses of care and successful transitions to subsequent care teams. There is no single model of clinical decision making that adequately relates to the very complex prehospital environment. EMS clinicians should be familiar with tools and techniques they might apply, and the nature of errors they might potentially commit. With this awareness, they might enhance patient care, avoid errors, and improve patient safety.
