The EMS/TS Section has developed a handbook entitled "The Prehospital Standards Process," which helps explain the disciplinary process utilized by the Section. It is a good source of information regarding the disciplinary process and can be accessed at: http://oregon.gov/DHS/ph/ems/profeson/handbook.pdf.
