From: Joe Acker, EMT-P, MPH John Reed, RN, EMT-P
Subject: ADPH / OEMS & Trauma Protocols
The State Emergency Medical Control Committee and the State Committee of Public Health have approved changes / additions to the current EMT-Basic, Intermediate and Paramedic protocols.
Implementation / use of the protocols will be on an organization-to-organization basis. Each organization must provide documentation that all of their EMTs have completed the education.
BREMSS will offer several classes for trainers on this process. DVDs of the protocol update from ADPH / OEMS&T (Dr. Campbell), as well as material to complete the reporting of the education, and the “turn-on” process for the new protocols will be presented.
While attendance at one of these sessions at BREMSS is not mandatory, we solicit your organization’s participation. If your organization elects to not attend one of these sessions, please contact Joe or John, but please call after Wednesday, August 13th, 2008.
