Session: Operationalizing Emergency Readiness in Home-Based Medicine: Development and Early Implementation of the Emergency Relocation & Readiness Index

What if emergency readiness in home-based medicine could be assessed in under ten minutes and translated directly into action?

At IRCP 2026, Scott Willits, MPH, CP-C, will introduce the Emergency Relocation & Readiness Index, a Delphi-informed tool developed with input from more than 100 experts across 15 countries. Early implementation across six countries included 3,474 patients, with a 96 percent completion rate and an average completion time of 8.4 minutes.

For leaders designing safer, more resilient care beyond traditional walls, this is a session worth making room for.

Join us in Regensburg. Registration is moving, and sponsorship and exhibitor opportunities deserve a prompt place on the agenda.

Speaker Spotlight!

Session: Frailty First: Training Paramedics and Nurses for Timely Palliative Care

Recognizing frailty early can change the care conversation before crisis dictates it.
At IRCP 2026, Thomas E. Charlton, MD, NRP, FACEP, FAEMS, will present Frailty First, a session focused on training paramedics and nurses to identify patients who may benefit from timely palliative care.

Using the Clinical Frailty Scale as part of the approach, this work speaks to clinical judgement, communication, patient goals, appropriate pathways, and the responsibility to recognize when more intervention is not necessarily better care.

For clinicians, educators, service leaders, palliative care teams, and policymakers, this is a humane and operationally important session.

Register now. Sponsors and exhibitors, step forward while there is still time to support this international forum and the conversations that matter.

An Excellent Message!

I am a little upset this post has to be made. I’m not sure when we as a society quit caring for each other. Tonight my deputies, along with first responders from Adrian and EMS units from Bates County and Cass County responded to a very serious head on collision on 18 Highway.

The first responders did what they always do. They showed up, worked like the best team in America for people they didn’t even know.

Two people, very seriously hurt and required two helicopters so they could be transported to a trauma center. But as the first helicopter was landing, my deputies reported seeing a drone in the air over the crash scene.

Let me be clear. You have a right to own a drone, fly a drone and take footage of things in public. But what you don’t have a right to do is compromise the safety of those in the helicopter or on the ground. You don’t have a right to hinder or delay that response because a drone in the air prevents a helicopter from taking back off or landing in a timely matter.

While I hope this is a one time thing and whoever the drone owners are realize now the danger they put all the first responders and helicopters pilots in. I hope they realize that a patient’s life or death could come down to every precious minute.

If this behavior continues on scenes like this, then my agency will begin the acquisition of any technology we need to identify drones owners and purchase technology that will disrupt the drones ability to continue to stay in the air. We will put the safety of all involve and down your drone. You will be held accountable for interfering.

If you own a drone you have the responsibility to know the laws pertaining to their use. Be smart. The people who we are helping maybe one of your family members or friends.
