I Had A Vision

By in Firehouse Zen at July 8, 2009 at 6:32 am
I woke up this morning with an idea for emergency services that is already a reality. It's funny about technology in our business; innovation driven by the private sector and the military is implemented and has probably run through four or five revisions, then we look at it and say, "Wow, this is amazing technology!" while the others have likely moved on.

My final group of people who are not happy with credentialing efforts are the "outsiders".  To me, they are the ones with the most logical and compelling concerns about credentialing.  Ironically, these people are often those already with some responsi… Read More »
