#GMVEMSC: FW: Quarterly Triage Day Drill - May 9th - 10th

As announced during multiple regional meetings, the region’s next Quarterly Triage Day (QTD) Drill will begin at 8:00 PM (2000 Hours) on July 13th, and continue until 8 PM (2000 Hours) the next day, July 14th.  Please share this email with all ED and EMS personnel.

·         Hospitals will monitor MCI radios from 8:00 pm to Midnight (2000-2400) on the first day and from 8 AM to Noon (0800-1200) the next day.  

·        All EMS crews transporting patients to a hospital during these times should provide a brief, MCI-style report to the hospital over MCI radio talk groups.

 

During this exercise every patient should receive a triage ribbon and a GREEN triage tag.  Hospitals will update their GDAHA Surgenet MCI page at least once every 8 hours, and practice entering patients into the OhTrac incident, which will be created by GDAHA for the drill.

·        We encourage every EMS agency to take a look at GDAHA Surgenet MCI page.  During an MCI, it’s a potentially invaluable tool to help your Transport Officer avoid overloading individual hospitals. 

·        You can view it at https://gdaha.surgenet.org, the same place you go to for Hospital Reroute information. 

·        If you don’t have a login (EMS agencies can use generic apparatus logins), or if your login doesn’t show the MCI section pictured on the attached QTD Flyer, just click the Request Access button.

 

There is more information in the attachments, including a review of the full QTD process, an MCI Communications Drill Job Aid, and a QTD flyer.  PLEASE POST THE FLYERS and help us get the word out to all line personnel, both in EMS and in EDs.

We updated the training materials in February.  If you haven’t seen them yet, go to http://gmvemsc.org/training-mcicomm.html, watch the video (the top video is for EMS, bottom video is for hospital personnel), then, regardless of which you watch, take the quiz at the bottom of the page to receive 1.5 Hours of Con Ed.

If you need additional GREEN triage tags or triage ribbons, contact GDAHA or Dayton MMRS. 

 

At the conclusion of your shift or the end of the drill, please take a couple of minutes to complete a feedback form at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/QTDFeedback or by scanning this QR code with your phone:   

 

 

Thank you for participating in QTD drills to help our region be better prepared for mass casualty incidents of all types.

"Stepping On" Fall Prevention Training 

Become a Program Facilitator 

Stepping On is a multifaceted falls-prevention program for the community-residing elderly. About 30% of older people who fall lose their self-confidence and start to go out less often. Inactivity leads to social isolation and loss of muscle strength and balance, increasing the risk of falling.

 

Stepping On aims to break that cycle, engaging people is a range of relevant fall preventive strategies. Stepping On content draws on current evidence for falls prevention. The program has been proven to reduce falls.

 

This Course is designed for Health Professionals (minimum qualification Aged care Certificate IV), experienced group educators who have completed the Stepping On one day facilitator training.

Participants will also be required to watch a Stepping on Program outside of the course, preferably before training. Guest speakers who attend the training need only observe the portion of the Stepping On training relevant to them.

 

Participants must speak English and be fluent (written and spoken).The potential facilitator will need to have insights into the beliefs and values of the older person.

 

It is desirable that the Participant works part time or has a job description that can allow the Stepping On program to be incorporated into their work load.

 

The following steps are needed to achieve competency as a facilitator:

  • Complete the Introductory Course
  • Run a program for 7 weeks as a co-facilitator
  • Facilitate a 7 week program
  • Complete the Advanced Course

For more details, or if you are interested in becoming a facilitator, please review the pdf attachment below.
