Registry Emergency Medical Responder Examination Specifications  \nAbout the Emergency Medical Responder Examination Specifications  \nThe “National Registry Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) Examination Specifications” provides important information about the EMR Certification Examination for stakeholders, such as current candidates, Emergency Medical Services (EMS) students, and EMS educators. The EMR Certification Examination will be administered starting Spring 2025.  \nThis document outlines the content of the examination, as determined through the 2023 Basic Level Support Practice Analysis Report, and it provides information regarding the development and administration of the examination. Also included are sample items and information about the item development process.  \nExamination Purpose  \nThe aim of the EMR Certification Examination is to determine whether EMS professionals at this provider level can demonstrate the entry-level knowledge, skills, and abilities required to competently perform their job. It is expected that a newly certified EMR can provide safe and effective prehospital emergency medical care. The entry-level EMR can evaluate and manage the scene to perform safety assessments, address immediate life threats, perform timely and appropriate primary and secondary assessments, provide adequate interventions, and prepare to transfer care to a higher level. Additionally, the entry level EMR appropriately manages resources and incidents within standards of care.  \nDevelopment of the Test Plan  \nThe EMR Certification Examination has evolved over the past five decades to become the most valid, reliable, and respected measurement tool employed by millions of EMS providers nationwide in their quest to attain National EMR Certification. In order to ensure the examination measures current practice, the National Registry conducts practice analysis studies to identify the knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) required in the EMS practice settings. The information gathered by practice analysis studies is then used to determine the content of the examinations, also known as a “test plan.”  \nThe 2023 Basic Level Support Practice Analysis examined the knowledge and skills needed for the EMRas it related to critical tasks that the EMR performs in their role. The tasks were grouped into the following five areas: 1) Scene Size-up and Safety, 2) Primary Assessment, 3) Secondary Assessment, 4) Patient Treatment and Transport, and 5) Operations.  \nContent for the EMR Certification Examination  \nContent Domains  \nThe 2023 Basic Level Support Practice Analysis evaluated critical job tasks performed by the EMR for the five areas, or “domains,” described above. These five domains are collectively referred to as the “content domains”:  \n1. Scene Size-up and Safety  \n2. Primary Assessment  \n3. Secondary Assessment  \n4. Patient Treatment and Transport  \n5. Operations  \nContent Outline  \nThe content domains, job tasks, and the associated knowledge and skills form the basis of the EMR Certification Examination. The content outline for the examination is presented below:  \n\n| Content Domain | Related Job Tasks |\n| --- | --- |\n| Scene Size-up and Safety | Develop a plan of action prior to arrival using all available information to ensure safe and effective operations.\u003Cbr>Protect self, other responders, patient, public, and the emergency scene from existing and potential hazards.\u003Cbr>Don appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) based on known hazards to protect responders from exposure.\u003Cbr>Investigate the scene to determine potential patients. Triage patients to ensure optimal care.\u003Cbr>Request appropriate resources based on known hazardsand patient conditions to mitigate all facets of the emergency scene. |\n| Primary Assessment | Communicate with the patient and/or bystanders to establish rapport.\u003Cbr>Determine a general impression of the patient. |\n\n\n| Assess patient’s level of consciousness.\u003Cbr>Assess patient’s airway.\u003Cbr","cbCaioC7pjT4c1ur","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioC7pjT4c1ur","pdf",408313,"English","# Examination Purpose\n# Development of the Test Plan\n# Content for the EMR Certification Examination\n## Content Domains\n## Content Outline\n## Content Distribution for the EMR Certification Examination\n## Item Development","[{\"question\":\"When will the EMR Certification Examination be administered?\",\"answer\":\"The EMR Certification Examination will be administered starting Spring 2025.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the EMR Certification Examination?\",\"answer\":\"It determines whether EMS professionals at the provider level can demonstrate entry-level knowledge, skills, and abilities to perform the job competently, enabling safe and effective prehospital emergency care.\"},{\"question\":\"Which five content domains are used for the examination?\",\"answer\":\"The domains are: Scene Size-up and Safety, Primary Assessment, Secondary Assessment, Patient Treatment and Transport, and Operations.\"}]","National Registry Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) Examination Specifications | PDF",1790200676]
