Operational Medical Readiness Audit — Fire & EMS
A structured self-assessment for fire chiefs, EMS officers, medical directors, and training coordinators. Scores readiness for everyday trauma, mass-casualty incidents, and high-threat/RTF response — across doctrine, equipment, training, response plans, data, and interagency integration. Thirty-five pages, six sections, one score out of twelve.

Download the audit (PDF)Who it's for. Fire chiefs, EMS officers, medical directors, and training coordinators who want an honest read on where the department stands — before a bad call exposes the gap, not after.
Framework. Built on current C-TECC guidance, which governs civilian tactical and Rescue Task Force operations. C-TECC and TCCC are separate frameworks and do not mirror each other — the audit shows you where your protocols sit against the one that actually applies to you.
What the six sections cover
| # | Section | What it assesses |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Organizational Doctrine & Medical Direction | Whether the program is decided before the rig rolls — doctrine and medical direction in writing, not assumed. |
| 2 | Equipment & Layout | What's on the rig, standardized across the fleet, staged for rapid access, and maintained — good gear in a bad layout fails under pressure. |
| 3 | Crew Training & Competency | Whether skill is sustained, not just taught once — skill is perishable and the audit assesses whether your service trains like it. |
| 4 | Response Plans: MCI & High-Threat | Whether mass-casualty and active-threat plans are actually built and exercised with police, fire, EMS, hospitals, and emergency management — a plan never run is a wish. |
| 5 | Data, QA/QI & Debrief | Whether the service measures and learns from its own calls — every significant incident is data, every near-miss is feedback. |
| 6 | Community & Interagency Integration | Whether your service acts like the node in a regional system that it actually is. |
How the scoring works
Each of the first six sections is scored 0–2 against a maturity scale, for a total possible score out of 12:
- 0 — Absent. Not present. Never built, or lapsed beyond recovery without a dedicated rebuild.
- 1 — Informal. Some elements exist but are inconsistent, outdated, or unevenly applied. Would not survive scrutiny in current form.
- 2 — Defined. Formally established, documented, and consistently applied. Would survive scrutiny.
10–12 reads as a mature program. 6–9 means formalize and sustain what exists. 5 or below means build from doctrine up. Section 7 turns the score into a 30/60/90-day action plan — pick three to five gaps, assign each to a named owner, set a target date.
Free, no obligation. The audit is not tied to buying anything. If it surfaces gaps you want help costing, configuring, or sourcing against, that conversation is a separate step — the audit stands on its own either way.
