Whether we are supplying 911 service to an entire city or arranging for the long-distance transfer of an individual critical patient, AMR is committed to meeting the unique needs of each community, facility and patient we serve through specifically tailored programs and care.

AMR has proudly used our extensive resources locally and nationally to help create San Diego’s Regional Cooperative Care Program (RCCP). The RCCP is a public-private partnership designed by local fire and emergency medical personnel to streamline public safety operations and improve service and care to benefit the community. The importance of coordinated training was proven when a trio of San Diego paramedics representing the RCCP won gold medals at the 2007 Australian Simulation Challenge and the 2007 National EMS Games.

AMR worked with the Fire Chief in the City of La Mesa to institute a new program through which City paramedics receive intensive and required training and experience by riding along on AMR ambulances with AMR personnel. The successful partnership allows paramedics to remain updated on pre-hospital care and ensures a seamless relationship between first responders and our EMS staff in the field.

AMR recognizes the benefit of offering highly specialized services to distinct populations and has operated the only dedicated Critical Care Transport ambulances in San Diego County for Children’s Hospital for more than 30 years.

AMR initiated the Training in Motion program comprised of a fully equipped ambulance housing an interactive medical training mannequin called SimMan. While using medical mannequins for educational purposes is becoming more common throughout the EMS industry, AMR is unique in its pairing of SimMan with an ambulance in the field to provide more realistic training for employees and fire agency partners.

AMR develops custom solutions with local vendors, including Encinitas-based ROAM Information Technologies, Inc. ROAM I.T. customized software for AMR Electronic Patient Care Reports allowing paramedics to capture information efficiently and completely while accurately and automatically transferring the information between first responders, paramedics and hospital staff.
