Quick Response Units
(QRU)
QRU Licensure requirements can be found in NDAC 33-11
(33-11-01.1)
Quick Response Units (QRU) are organizations that provide care to patients
while an ambulance is enroute to the scene of an emergency. They may be
organized as part of a law enforcement agency, a fire department or a stand
alone agency whose only purpose is to provide quick response services. QRUs do
not transport patients. QRUs must be affiliated with an ambulance service or
operate under the guidance of their own medical director.
