DOH Releases New Policy Statements

shortly be available on their website. Click

Statement 08-03 Records Retention.
Draft Crew Confirmation Protocol Released
A draft amendment to the EMS Mutual Aid Plan that incorporates crew
confirmation to comply with a REMAC advisory on Agency Response Parameters was
presented at the February 11th EMS Council meeting. Although agencies are
able to comply with the directive under the present MA Plan, adding crew
confirmation to the existing alerting system would assure that any response time
gaps are covered automatically. Implementation of the plan will not occur
until upgrades to the Sheriff's Department Communications Center mapping system
are in place to accommodate the changes.

draft document. Comments should be submitted to EMS Coordinator Mike
McEvoy.
Radio System Update
The Office of Emergency Services released a series of notes detailing the
progress on the County Emergency Services Radio system.
