Action Steps

Follow-Up from February 8, 2005

Ambulances and First Responders It was agreed that services will be referred to as Transport and Non-Transport services. Ambulances are licensed and thus there is an accurate listing of these services. First Responders are neither licensed nor certified, thus it is not possible to determine accurately how many there are. The list of Assessment respondents is our best list of these services until Rule 113 takes effect. Dennis and Marianne will obtain further information on Rule 113 will be obtained.
Status of WEEPP It was also discussed that further research needs to be done on the need to provide treatment in a disaster without the permission/direction of medical control. Dennis and Marianne will research on treatment in a disaster without direction from medical control

Follow-Up from April 13, 2005

Burn Module This module is in development.  
Minutes Minutes of April 13, 2005 were approved as written.  
WEEPP Training Module Services do not have to participate in WEEPP training; however, reimbursement will not be made to any service unless they complete the WEEPPP Training. START is not a requirement, but is highly encouraged in order to have consistency across the state. Whether employers are willing to supply trainers is up to the employer; much depends upon how they see their mission as an employer. Training will be done on “first come, first serve” basis. RTAC Coordinators may adapt the Training Instructions to their own RTAC.

It was agreed that all training will be completed by February 28, 2006 with the exercise to be held between March and August 2006.

By July 31, 2005 Dennis will place all RTAC documents on the HAN.

By July 31, 2005 RTAC Coordinators are to have HAN access.
