The STEMS Monthly Minute is a short, focused video series developed by Southern Tier Emergency Medical System to support EMS providers across Allegany, Cattaraugus, and Chautauqua counties. Each month, we highlight a practical topic designed to strengthen patient care, improve communication, and promote consistency across our regional EMS system. Episodes focus on clinical updates, protocol reminders, documentation best practices, quality improvement initiatives, and collaboration between EMS and hospital partners. These brief updates are designed to respect your time while delivering relevant, actionable information that can be applied immediately in the field.

We encourage agencies to share each episode during trainings, staff meetings, or roll call as part of ongoing education and quality improvement efforts. If you have suggestions for future topics, please contact STEMS. We value your feedback and remain committed to supporting EMS providers throughout our region.
