Question Causing concussions

Had this happen during Girls' Varsity the other night....

First quarter, visitng team shoots & misses, home team goes for rebound, in the process of home player rebounding, a visitng player pushes her while she's in mid-air where she slams into the wall & collapses on floor in a heap. Floor officials called an officials' timeout, Home HC attending to player who didn't respond/move for about 5 minutes. Finally player gets up showing signs/symptoms of concussion.

Play continues on at POI, no foul charged to visiting team for excessive contact.

Home player was assisted back to bench with help of coach, but stays at bench.

How should this play have been called? Should EMS have been contacted, with stoppage of play until EMS removes injured player?

Am wondering if the proper step(s) were done, since I am questioniing the situation, after viewing the WIAA Online Rules Clinic & the information about the Zackery Lystedt Law concerning concussions.
