Medical Direction

All EMS providers in Colorado are required by rules promulgated by the Executive Director of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and the state Board of Health to have a Medical Director if they are providing direct patient care as an EMS provider in any setting. EMS providers in Colorado may function in pre-hospital and in facility settings with appropriate medical supervision.

EMS providers provide patient care through delegated medical acts, defined by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE). CDPHE regulates this practice through 6 CCR 1015-3 Chapter Two, which defines the roles and responsibilities of a Medical Director and the scope of practice for each of level of EMS provider in the State of Colorado
