The adoption of clinical care standards has the potential to improve the quality of care provided to patients, reducing unwanted variations in care, harm and inefficiencies. It also has the potential to protect professionals. The clinical care technical standards vary according to EMTs type (WHO EMT Secretariat, 2021).

There are 27 clinical standards representing support and key clinical processes. Key clinical processes consist of the act of providing care per se, while the support processes provide support or key elements/actions to the provision of care (WHO EMT Secretariat, 2021).
