What does it mean to say the EMT-B, EMT-I/99, and paramedics work in a collaborative fashion?

Working collaboratively means each level contributes its own specific skills and responsibilities while cooperating with and respecting the others. It does not mean EMT-Bs are always on standby for higher levels or that every emergency includes someone from each level. Therefore, the best answer is that they work at specific jobs with specific skills in a spirit of helpfulness and respect to those in other levels.
