#GMVEMSC: GMVEMSC CQI Meeting Reminder

Hello,

 

The CQI Committee requests that your EMS department submit data on the following measure categories: Cardiac Arrest, Chest Pain, and Stroke. We request that data in the following target months: July, August, September and October. You are able to submit other months to complete a year’s worth of data. We also have other measures available to you that the Committee is not requesting. We currently have measures in the SMR category. You are able to use/submit data on these measures for your department. We would like to discuss our measurement data at our next meeting. Which is on Tuesday, December 5th at 1130. The meeting is held at the GDAHA building at 241 Taylor Street Suite 130 in Dayton.

 

To submit data, download 1 or 2 of the attached workbooks. If your department has the ability to query multiple EMS calls through its ePCR program, then try out the Multiple PCR Workbook. If you can’t query multiple EMS calls or you prefer completing your QA/QI with a single PCR, then the Single PCR Workbook is your workbook. Both workbooks have a “How To Use” sheet within the workbook. But as always, if you have any questions, please email GMVEMSC.CQI@gmail.com.

 

 

Thanks,

Chris L. Brock

GMVEMSC CQI Co-chair

#GMVEMSC: Most Up to Date and Accurate Information on Fentanyl Risks and PPE

Here are the most current guidance documents on issues related to risks from Fentanyl and fentanyl analogues (carfentanil, sufentanil, etc.).  A regional guidance document is under development, but these papers are very useful.  Please disseminate these widely with your personnel.

 

Myths and Facts paper from the Office of Health Affairs at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security:  http://www.peaf.us/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderfiles/fentanyl-myths-facts-sep2017.pdf

 

White House paper. Nicely done..

https://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/whitehouse.gov/files/images/Final%20STANDARD%20size%20of%20Fentanyl%20Safety%20Recommendations%20for%20First%20Respond....pdf

 

If you want to know how these were developed, below is the paper that gives the science behind all this, that has been endorsed by numerous medical groups including our RPAB:  http://www.acmt.net/_Library/Fentanyl_Position/Fentanyl_PPE_Emergency_Responders_.pdf

 

Finally, there's a paper from the IAB that is also very good:  https://www.interagencyboard.org/sites/default/files/publications/IAB%20First%20Responder%20PPE%20and%20Decontamination%20Recommendations%20for%20Fentanyl.pdf

 

For short reads (one sheet each) the first two are highly recommended.
