Who we are:

Temple University Emergency Medical Services (TUEMS) is a completely student-run, volunteer organization. Our providers are certified by the Pennsylvania Department of Health and strive to provide the best care possible. Our EMS teams respond as a Quick Response System to medical emergencies on Temple University's main campus, as well as the surrounding areas of campus.

What we do:

When we respond to medical emergencies within the Temple community, we provide treatment as needed, and may call the Philadelphia Fire Department paramedic unit to transport the patient to the hospital. We then need to relay the patient’s care information to the transporting paramedics and ultimately the emergency physicians.

Currently, our organization uses a paper Patient Care Report (PCR) system - but with your help, we can upgrade to a digital system. A digital system would enhance our patient’s care by ensuring continuity between all providers. Using a digital system, our providers could easily transfer a patient’s care information to the transporting paramedics and the emergency physicians. This would ensure all patient care providers are fully informed of a patient’s situation and are able to monitor trends in the patient’s condition.

Your donations will make possible our transition to a digital PCR system, and will allow us continue to provide the best care possible to the Temple community.

Help equip our two nightly crews with tablets and electronic patient care software.

$400 will cover the cost one tablet device
$100 will cover insurance for one tablet device
$100 will provide a case for one tablet device
$1,500 will provide the electronic patient care software for one year
$200 will cover the additional first-year costs of software set-up and training

All gifts, no matter the size, help us adapt to the changing times and continue to provide the best care possible.
