Individuals such as paramedics, nurses, and social workers are all part of the integrated services that make up Emergency Medical Services (EMS). The purpose of this research was to compile the information that pertains to the functions that social workers, nurses, and paramedics play in emergency medical services. It is the responsibility of nurses, paramedics, and social workers to perform a variety of functions during an emergency situation. These functions include search and rescue operations, advocacy, facilitation, networking, psychosocial assessment, consulting, counseling, and liaison for referral activities. As a result of these changes, health outcomes have improved, access to services has been improved, and the number of visits to emergency departments has decreased. Building on these already established trends in paramedicine, and taking into consideration the fact that social conditions are a significant contributor to sickness and a powerful indicator of future utilization of health services, it is imperative that the social needs of patients be incorporated into the core practice of paramedics.
