    DEDEMSOMSOCC Delaware Ememergeencyncy Medical Serviviceces Oversight Council 20082008 AnnualAnnual ReportReport Dedicated to the everyday heroes who have given the ultimate sacrifice … ParaParamedic EMT-B Stephanianie Callllaway Michelchellele ((NewNewttoon) Smith The Honorable Jack Markelell,, GoGovernor Page Left Blank Intentionally April 15, 2009 To the Citizens of Delaware: On Behalf of Governor Jack Markell and the Delaware Emergency Medical Services Oversight Council (DEMSOC), I am pleased to present the 2008 DEMSOC Annual Report. DEMSOC was created in 1999 to promote the continuous development and improvement of our Emergency Medical Services (EMS) System. There can be no greater reminder of the sacrifice that the men and women of Delaware’s Emergency Medical Community make than the line-of-duty deaths of Stephanie Calloway and Michelle Smith. This year’s DEMSOC report is dedicated to the memory of Stephanie and Michelle and all who have given the ultimate sacrifice while providing care to someone else. The membership of DEMSOC includes professionals from several EMS provider agencies, representatives from agencies that frequently work with and support EMS, and private citizens knowledgeable in the delivery of EMS care. The Council meets several times throughout the year to address current issues and provide support for developing workable solutions to those issues. The purpose of this report is to inform others about Delaware’s EMS system and increase awareness of the issues that most directly affect the delivery of EMS service and the quality of EMS patient care. Throughout the year we have witnessed great achievements in the EMS community and this report attempts to capture those successes as well as to build the framework for addressing the challenges that lie ahead.

It is based on a combination of what we found when we inspected, other information know to CQC and information given to us from patients, the public and other organisations. 1 Ambulance Station Quality Report 29/09/2017 Summary of findings Letter from the Chief Inspector of Hospitals Ambulance Station is operated by Central Medical Services. The service provides emergency and urgent care and patient transport services. The service has a service level agreement with a local NHS ambulance service and other NHS organisations. It also provides emergency care provision at public events, which is not inspected by Care Quality Commission (CQC) because this falls outside of the scope of CQC registration. We inspected this service using our comprehensive inspection methodology. We carried out the announced part of the inspection on 18 July 2017, along with an unannounced visit to the service on 24 July 2017. To get to the heart of patients’ experiences of care and treatment, we ask the same five questions of all services: are they safe, effective, caring, responsive to people's needs, and well-led? Throughout the inspection, we took account of what people told us and how the provider understood and complied with the Mental Capacity Act 2005. The main service provided by this service which we regulate is patient transport services.

    Mississippi State Department of Health Division of Emergency Medical Services MSDH Report to House and Senate Public Health and Welfare Committees December 2001 Emergency Medical Services A Feasibility Study of the Placement of an Emergency Medical Services Vehicle/Ambulance in Every County in Mississippi, With Focus on Benton, Carroll, Greene and Smith Counties Jim Craig, State EMS Director Mississippi State Department of Health P.O. Box 1700, Jackson, Mississippi 39215-1700 (601) 576-7366 - Voice, (601) 576-7373 - Fax Introduction On a typical day in Mississippi, hundreds of people face medical emergencies that require immediate treatment before reaching a hospital. For these people, emergency medical services (EMS) systems B including a 911 telephone dispatch center, medical treatment by responding emergency personnel, and emergency transportation to a hospital B are the front line of care. In some situations, emergency services can be the difference between life and death. For example, chances of surviving a sudden cardiac arrest decrease an estimated 10 percent for every minute=s delay in treatment. People who need such emergency, prehospital care depend on well-trained personnel reaching them quickly, identifying the type of treatment they need, and, in the case of life-threatening situations such as cardiac arrest, administering needed life-sustaining treatment wherever the person may be. EMS systems are primarily local, but the state plays a major role in regulating them. The federal government has also adopted a role supporting and promoting efforts to improve EMS systems B for example, by making the improvement of EMS a national health priority. In its Healthy People 2010 initiative outlining health care improvement goals for the next decade, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) 2 established a goal of increasing the proportion of people who can be reached by EMS within 5 minutes in urban areas and within 10 minutes in rural areas.
