What does accountability actually look like in EMS? In this episode of the Inside EMS podcast, cohosts Chris Cebollero and Kelly Grayson get into the gritty details — beyond the management-speak — and outline the 7 pillars of accountability that can make or break an EMS organization. From character and unity, to urgency and evolution, they explore how each pillar builds a culture that supports excellence, trust and growth in the field.
The discussion gets into metrics that actually matter (and no, “we’re doing fine” isn’t a metric), urgency that respects both speed and precision, and how to develop a reputation that earns trust from coworkers and ED staff alike.
Whether you’re in a leadership role or still riding the bench seat, this episode is a masterclass in personal and organizational accountability.
