WORK OFF DEBT AS VOLUNTEERS
Like any business,
every EMS provider
who charges user fees
has some percentage
of customers who are
unable to pay due to
fnancial hardship. Most
just write the unpaid
fees of as bad debts;
Life EMS Ambulance
converts some of these unpaid fees into volunteer assistance at local
nonproft groups. Read more at EMSWorld.com/12072080.

GUEST EDITORIAL: ARE YOU A MICROMANAGER?
The term micromanagement often refers
to inappropriately close observation
and control of a subordinate's work by
a manager. But can micromanagement

of micromanaging where managers can

involved when necessary? In this editorial, Raphael Barishansky outlines
how managers can use micromanagement to create a more productive
workplace. Read more at EMSWorld.com/12072862.
