One has been submitted for authorization and is believed to be authorized. Mobilization The following charts show mobilization times (the time between dispatch to marking enroute) for calls in which the mode of response was marked emergency on the PCR for 2005, 2006, 2007, and The tables are broken down by type of agency, BLS, QRS, and ALS. Within each table the mobilization times are split out by the size of the municipality in which the responses occurred. For example, in municipalities of greater than 1000 persons per square mile, ALS services mobilized in 3 to 6 minutes 6.8% of the time in the year EMMCO West has made these reports available for all agencies in the region in order that they might be able to see how they are performing compared to like services. They can view their mobilization times and compare them to the regional averages for like services. A complete listing of mobilization times for all 4 categories of municipality sizes for all levels of service is available upon request.

Response Time 90 th percentile values 2008: QRS 11 minutes BLS 18 minutes ALS 16 minutes Suction Unit Project Status Current pass rate 74% (spot inspections and licensure inspections). Original pass rate 81% PREPAREDNESS Equipment: Support Vehicles, Trailers Other Specialty Equipment EMMCO West preparedness trailer (see appendix B) Small cache of Mark I Kits All strike teams (6) have 4 Millennium masks and level B suits (28 total) 6, 10 man tents with heaters 2 Rescue Trailers (intended for training, appendix C) Strike Teams: 6 strike teams Communications: LR Kimball Regional Communications Assessment Objective Status: AVL AVL operational in 3 counties Currently limited to strike team units Seeking funding for 2 additional counties Seeking funding for remaining EMS units Clarion County receiving upgrades to improve connectivity between file server and CAD Crawford County receiving upgrades to enable them to receive their signal via their CAD system Mobile Communications Unit (MCU) Phase 1 and 2 implemented (radio installations) MCU purchased through NWPAERG Medical radio systems operational 800 radio to be installed in Phase 3 (spring 09)
7 Venango County assumed ownership via a memorandum of agreement between Venango County, EMMCO West and the NWPAERG. Allegheny River Med radio system for Medical Command operational in underserved area of significant dead spots in the Allegheny River valley in Warren, Forest county areas. INTEGRATION/PARTNERSHIPS PEHSC BOD PEHSC EMS Information Taskforce (chair) PEHSC Practical Evaluation taskforce and various other standing and dynamic PEHSC and DOH committees and taskforces. EMMCO West Regional Medical Advisory Committee EMMCO West Communications Committee integrated into Region NWPAERG task force Communications Committee. EMMCO West Transportation Committee EMMCO West QI Committee EMMCO West CISM Team Participation at Volunteer EMS Alliance of Crawford County NWPAERG SHIP Crawford Co. Active Aging Coalition Warren Co. Fire Chief s Association Erie Co. EMS Council Clarion Co. EMS Council NWPA Career Link partnership Initial Assessment Observations PERSONNEL There are fewer active ALS personnel Fewer ALS personnel are working at multiple agencies Only 65% of EMS personnel at all levels are active Fewer people are taking EMS training The ALS pass rate is poor Fewer con-ed courses are being conducted but LMS seems to be popular. Reciprocity and Re-entry seem to be adding personnel to the system but their activity is not monitored after gaining/re-gaining certification. OPERATIONS Most fire departments providing a QRS type service are not recognized EMS Call volumes are increasing, especially interfacility transfers EMS system stress seems to be greater during week days.
8 SYSTEM PERFORMANCE Some counties have a disproportionate number of air ambulance scene runs compared to their population. QRS services seem to mobilize more quickly than BLS agencies in like municipalities. BLS response times are greater than those of ALS and QRS Areas of the region are served by BLS services in very close proximity. Some of which experience difficulty staffing. QI suction project seems to be making less of an impact than hoped PREPAREDNESS Strike team participation could be better It would be desirable to expand AVL to more counties and agencies. Goals/Tasks PERSONNEL Provide technical, educational, and if possible financial assistance to services in efforts to improve recruitment, retention, and recognition. o Provide an educational opportunity for services related to utilizing EMSOF or other funding to maximize the results of recruitment, retention, and recognition projects. o Sponsor an event for elected officials and EMS personnel o Provide other educational/outreach opportunities including but not limited to continuing education, station visits, items of recognition, ride-alongs and other related programming.

9 o Enhance the core training of the CISM team. o Strategize methods to educate EMS stakeholders regarding the need for CISM and how to active CISM.
