**Routing Summary**:
- Riding along to assist emergency medical technicians on calls is hands-on, in-person emergency care kept in-house by an EMS department or its contracted provider.
- It is performed by EMTs, ambulance drivers, and trainees physically present at the scene; clinical care is reserved to credentialed responders and cannot be automated.
- Many jurisdictions and hospitals buy EMS capacity from a third-party ambulance service provider, but the on-scene assist role itself is staffed by qualified people.
