1 T h e P u l s e A Newsletter by and for the Employees of Charles County Emergency Medical Services A MESSAGE FROM THE OFFICE OF THE CHIEF BY: CHIEF FILER Volume 4, Issue 5 May 2010 We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths. Walt Disney I recently attended a celebration hosted by Southern Maryland Hospital acknowledging the outstanding life saving efforts of a few of our beloved colleagues. It was by far one of the most gracious events a local hospital has ever hosted honoring the everyday efforts, devotion and service we provide. The evening began with dinner followed by case studies from Southern Maryland Hospital s cath lab where providers from Prince George s and Charles County s had transported patients which resulted in positive and documented lives saved. Each case study presented was a telling tale of how our training, vigilance, excellent customer service and commitment to life safety all come to together to produce real results that matter. LIFE! Each provider was given the chance to meet with the patient s they saved which was moving beyond words. I can t begin to tell you how proud I am of each and every one of you for the awesome job you perform every day. My words can t express my praise for your performance so I m just going to stop writing and show you the pictures. Thank you guys! (pictures page 2.)

5 Page 5 Quality of Care Through Excellence in Service Mutual Aid Agreement Effective May 5, 2010, a revised mutual aid agreement between Prince George s and Charles County Governments was officially executed. The goal of this revision is to allow Advanced Life Support units to be used by either jurisdiction when it is appropriate to do so in the interest of a patient. Effective June 1, 2010, seamless Advanced Life Support mutual aid will be available between jurisdictions. Field implementation of this newly revised mutual aid agreement will operate as follows: Paramedic Ambulances & Medic Units Prince George s County Paramedic Ambulances operate in a similar manner to the Paramedic Ambulances we currently operate. They are a single ALS Provider resource with transport capabilities. Prince George s County Medic Units operate contrary to what Charles County has traditionally been accustomed to. These units are transport units that are staffed with two paramedics. Unit Names The units will be referred to as a Prince George s Paramedic Ambulance 8. Example of such would be Prince George s Paramedic Ambulance 840 Locations The Prince George s units most likely to run into this County are stationed at Prince George s County Stations 47 (Selesia), 36 (Baden), 25 (Clinton) and 40 (Brandywine). Response Areas Just as existing Paramedic Ambulances, mutual aid units will be dispatched to areas of need where they are closer than the furthest ALS Unit on the run card. The area effected is primarily in the Bryans Road, Waldorf and Hughesville first due areas. Unit Requests Units requested will be given the incident address, the EMD Determinant, and the unit s role as a first responding unit, ALS unit, or BLS to avoid any confusion on the parts of the providers or dispatchers. Staffed ALS units will not be required to respond to BLS mutual aid calls. Special Requests Special requests for Prince George s County ALS units will be honored, but will be subject to review by both jurisdictions. Communications Until Prince George s County goes live with their new radio system crews will need to communicate with Charles County 911 Communications (unless equipped with a PG Co. radio). Once Prince George s County s new radio system is operational (estimated September 2010), our portable radios will be programmed with Prince George s County s channels. This additional ALS resource will undoubtedly improve the emergency medical services available to citizens in both Charles and Prince George s County. This effort is a testament to the spirit of cooperation between our governments.
6 Page 6 Congratulations! C o n g r a t u l a t i o n s Paramedic Tracey Fillman who graduated with honors May 21, 2010 from UMBC with a Master's of Science in Emergency Health Services Education. Good Luck! Good luck Marine 2nd Lt. Steer as you leave to embark on your new career! We hope you re able to come and see us still as a part time medic!
7 Page 7 Emergency Medical Services for Children Day With the presentation of Proclamation # on Tuesday, May 18, the Charles County Commissioners proclaimed Wednesday, May 19, 2010, as Emergency Medical Services for Children (EMSC) Day in Charles County. EMSC supports Emergency Medical Services (EMS), the community-based public service whose presence is vital to children in need. The Commissioners believe that it is proper and timely to bring recognition to the value and accomplishments of the dedicated men and women who are EMSC personnel, and they encourage the community to observe this day with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities. The needs of children are different than the needs of adults in medical emergencies. EMSC promotes the high-level emergency care given by EMS providers with pediatric emergency skills; and EMSC assists in the implementation of training for use of advanced technical equipment and services in preparation to save the life of a child. EMS providers are unceasingly prepared to respond to children who access the system and return them to an optimum level of health. EMSC works with physicians, nurses, social workers, psychologists, emergency medical technicians, paramedics, firefighters, educators, administrators, and others to identify and address the issues surrounding the provision of optimal pediatric care. EMSC assists in the development of training programs and guidelines for emergency care providers so that children with special health care needs receive timely, appropriate care. Watch for Charles County s EMS for Children Celebration coming soon!
8 Page 8 Emergency Medical Services Week Observed The Charles County Commissioners issued Proclamation # on Tuesday, May 18, in recognition of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Week, May This year s theme is EMS: Anytime, Anywhere, We ll Be There. The Commissioners recognize the value and the accomplishments of EMS providers and encourage the community to observe this week with appropriate program, ceremonies, and activities. EMS is a vital public service. The members of EMS teams are ready to provide lifesaving care to those in need 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Access to quality emergency care dramatically improves the survival and recovery rate of those who experience sudden illness or injury. The EMS system consists of emergency physicians, emergency nurses, emergency medical technicians, paramedics, firefighters, educators, administrators, and others. The members of EMS teams, whether career or volunteer, engage in thousands of hours of specialized training and continuing education to enhance their lifesaving skills. Joint Operational Training with Pentagon Force Protection Agency On May 15th 2010 the Charles County Tactical Response Team (TRT) and the Pentagon Force Protection Agency (PFPA) conducted a joint operational training exercise at the WAMATA Training Center in Landover, MD. WMD Specialists from both agencies honed their Level A operations, victim triage, rescue, decon, identification, sampling and mitigation skills on a railway based scenario. Despite this being the first operational scenario both teams have worked together on, the mission and training was a success because of standardized training, equipment and operational procedures and practices implemented in the National Capital Region after 9/11. Members from TRT and PFPA were paired up in teams and had to complete a mass victim rescue with decon as well as mitigate a hazard using pieces and tools from each other agencies kit/apparatus. Team members from TRT work with PFPA personnel to decon a rescued victim. Story and Photo Chief Filer
