Abstract
This chapter articulates contemporary insights into non-clinical considerations that impact on paramedic decision making over patient treatment and (non-)conveyance to hospital emergency departments. After introducing the concept and role of choice architecture, it moves on to provide a flavour of tensions surrounding extrinsic influences on decision making over care destinations for patients, in the context of rising demand for services, scarcity of resources and professional and institutional worries over blame and accountability.
