DOH Releases Statewide Protocol App
The Bureau has entered an agreement with MURU to provide all EMS providers with the most up-to-date protocols FOR FREE via the basic portion of the MURU app. In addition to protocols, the app will help providers navigate to newly released policy statements, hospital updates, and other communications from the state and regions that help EMS providers best provide care to each of their patients on a daily basis.
The App Includes:
• Statewide BLS Protocols
• Regional ALS Protocols
• DOH Policy Statements
• Hospital Information
And More…
• The app customizes itself to each provider based on their certification, region(s), and agency.
• The app will instantly notify providers when there are new protocols or other updates.
• The app statewide partnership portion is FREE to all providers in New York state.
There are additional advanced features for purchase if a provider/agency chooses.
Three Steps to the New York Statewide EMS Protocol App:
1. Download the app from iOS App Store or Google Play for Android devices.
2. Go to www.murumed.com and select sign up to create a free account.
3. It will ask you for a zip code as well as several other questions so the app will customize itself to you.
Any zip code in New York state will automatically provide you access to the statewide partnership plan that is free to all providers. The zip code you enter needs to be any zip code in the county of the agency you work in. Once you enter the zip code it will bring up a list of all the agencies in the county and allow you to select your specific agency.
