Michigan makes OneDose statewide for EMS providers

Michigan is rolling out OneDose Premium, MI-MEDIC and current EMS protocols to about 48,000 EMS providers across 56 medical control authorities, 790 licensed agencies and no cost to agencies. Onboarding starts with MCAs in December 2026 and continues through 2027.

Why it matters: - Michigan is centralizing EMS protocols and pediatric dosing in one digital system. - The rollout gives every EMS provider access to current state-approved guidance, including offline use in the field. - Agencies get statewide access to OneDose Premium without procurement costs, which could speed adoption and reduce workflow friction.

What happened: - The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services and OneDose partnered to deliver MI-MEDIC, current protocols and OneDose Premium to all 56 Medical Control Authorities, about 790 licensed EMS agencies and roughly 48,000 EMS providers. - Michigan is the first state to bring OneDose Premium statewide. - Onboarding through live webinars begins with MCAs in December 2026, with agency and provider onboarding continuing through 2027.

The details: - MI-MEDIC is Michigan’s state-maintained digital version of the Michigan Medication Emergency Dosing and Intervention Cards pediatric dosing reference. - Michigan statute requires MI-MEDIC dosing to be used ahead of weight-based dosing or other methods. - Every Michigan provider on OneDose will see MI-MEDIC on the app’s home screen. - The state locks and updates the content so a protocol change reaches every device on a standard sync cycle. - The dosing content and calculations work offline on the device. - The first OneDose release mirrors the current printed card. - The MDHHS EMS for Children program will keep producing and distributing the printed card at no cost to agencies. - For pediatric medications outside MI-MEDIC, OneDose calculates from the state protocol set with minimum and maximum safety bounds enforced. - OneDose Premium includes weight-based dosing support, clinical checklists, scoring calculators, CPR Assist, Live Patient Record for PHI-free handoff sharing, eMACC medication cross-check scanning, the OneDose AI Assistant and OneDose Academy. - OneDose Academy lets administrators assign videos and quizzes and track completion. - Every licensed EMS agency in Michigan can activate OneDose Premium immediately after its MCA launch, with no procurement step and no cost to the agency. - Adoption at the agency and provider level is opt-in. - Agencies already using another product can keep using that platform. - The state requires only that every provider has access to MI-MEDIC and current protocols. - The rollout information, including onboarding dates, MI-MEDIC details, the new protocol review process, medication safety features and ePCR integrations, is posted at more information. - OneDose is an AI-driven EMS platform that connects protocols, dosing support, documentation and real-time clinical tools from pre-scene to hospital handoff. - OneDose says it supports more than 4,000 EMS agencies across 40+ states.

Between the lines: - The state is replacing a manual, email-based protocol review workflow with a single streamlined process. - Version control could reduce the risk of providers working from outdated protocols. - WCAG 2.1 Level AA validation broadens accessibility and aligns with federal requirements. - Emily Bergquist, director of the MDHHS Division of EMS and Systems of Care, said the state wants a way to ensure medics follow the current approved protocol whether they are in Detroit or Ontonagon. - Bergquist said email and PDFs never provided that certainty. - Bergquist said the new system creates one place for content, one approval process and a way to confirm the material reached the field.

What's next: - MCAs are set to start live webinar onboarding in December 2026. - Agency and provider onboarding will follow throughout 2027. - Michigan EMS agencies will begin deciding whether to activate OneDose Premium alongside their existing tools or continue with their current platform.

The bottom line: - Michigan is moving EMS dosing and protocol access from fragmented workflows to a statewide digital system, with pediatric reference tools and current protocols available to every provider.
