Becoming an EMS alchemist is the process of transforming a business to be prepared for the future. EMS has evolved since the 1966 report, starting at EMS 1.0 and now reaching 4.0. To successfully prepare for the future, one must understand the difference between alchemy and transmutation and how to become an EMS alchemist.
The CMS Emergency Triage Treatment and Transportation (ET3) Project and Northwell's Independence at Home program demonstrate the benefits of this model, such as improved quality of care, lower costs and higher levels of patient satisfaction. The House Calls Program has resulted in an impressive ROI of over 500%, so it is being increasingly implemented.

During the pandemic, the shift to virtual care meant that the government issued waivers for an EMS model with a focus on clinical care. Technology advancements are enabling this transformation, such as a front-end clinical decision support system and data quantification.
Platform thinking and consumerism must be utilized to craft an Emergency Medical Services system, while data systems should be accessible and patient-centered. Risk monitoring necessitates data systems, including asynchronous communication systems, behavioral marketplaces, healthcare systems, neural communication systems and AI.
Improving effectiveness, efficiency and safety through evidence-based practice is paramount. Video services for patients is a must-have and costs and potential funding issues associated with transmutation must be understood in order to calculate the value it brings.
