What does one do if a medical helicopter mission is captured by high-definition cameras? Use a 'Just Culture' philosophy to analyze the mission, of course! This case study features an air medical scene response utilizing publicly available video footage and archived radio transmissions. In-depth operational analysis will include current 'best practice' strategies, how successfully these strategies were executed, and why these strategies are paramount to our safety.

Learning Objectives:

Describe current safety strategies and policies of the featured air medical program.
Understand how a just culture environment encourages safety through observations and open learning.
Conduct a preliminary search for publicly available audio/video files that may be pertinent to air medical missions.
