[HFDlist] EMS Updates/Inspections/CPR

[enaiman at holdenma.gov]

Good afternoon all:

I wanted to provide some updates on some of the things taking place on  
the EMS side of the department, and some changes that will be coming --

1.) STOCK ROOM/SUPPLY REQUESTS - I have created a stock room/supply  
request google doc to use for supply requests. This has been loaded on  
to a laptop that is accessible in the stock room, and all three  
ambulance laptops in the folder called "EMS". This will automatically  
email me your requests. Please notify me of supplies that are low,  
missing, or expired. I have attached a photo below. You may also  
access the form from this link, on any device:

2.) STATE INSPECTIONS - State inspections are expected soon. I would  
ask that all of the groups and call-EMTs make a conscious effort to  
help ready the ambulances. This means all ambulances must be  
thoroughly cleaned, stocked (please refrain from overstocking), and  
any deficiencies be reported in a timely fashion. I appreciate  
everyones assistance with this.
3.) CHECKLISTS - It is imperative that every ambulance, every day,  
have a completed checklist submitted. This is a state OEMS policy, and  
is part of the OEMS inspections. I am looking at ways to streamline  
the checklists, and hope to have something in place for October 1st. I  
am open to suggestions, if there are any. It is equally important that  
the Narcotic logs be signed twice daily, and as close to 7am/7pm as  
possible. These are also recorded and submitted for review.
4.) CPR - The amount of CPR class requests the department receives  
continues to grow. Any member who has a current CPR Instructor  
certification who is interested in assisting, or any current BLS CPR  
card holder who would be interested in taking a CPR Instructor class,  
is encouraged to contact me.

Any questions, comments, or concerns please reach out. Thank you.

Regards,
