Fatigue Risk Analyzer Tool: In an ongoing effort to mitigate fatigue risk in EMS, the National Association of State EMS Officials has developed the Fatigue Risk Analyzer shift scheduling tool. This excellent new resource can help agencies estimate fatigue risk in personnel and make decisions about shift schedules and its impact on safety. Visit www.emsfatigue.org to check out the Fatigue Risk Analyzer tool and other evidence-based guidelines and resources available to agencies and providers.
