			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Regional Alliance for Firefighter Training Presents</p>
<p><strong>Building Crew Integrity:</strong>  <strong><em>Saving Your Life &amp; Managing Errors</em></strong><br />
EMS CE’s Available</p>
<p>Featuring Jeff Dyar, author of the Jones &amp; Bartlett textbook Crew Resource Management:  Principles &amp; Practices</p>
<p>Each year over 100 Line of Duty Deaths occur in America’s fire service, in addition to thousands of career ending injuries.  An estimated 1 million medication errors happen in the health care system causing 100,000 deaths with Fire-based EMS owning its share. The break down of crew communication and coordinated team behavior is a primary reason for these failures.  A leader is responsible for setting the pace and expectations for the organization, including team dynamics. This session will define what crew integrity is, how it is built and how it influences errors made on the fire ground and in EMS operations.</p>
