New Business:
McClure stated the 522 Rural Ambulance District has been operating for 20 days as of today. I spoke with our 522 Contractor last night to get some stats, so as of last night before midnight, this is a brief rundown of the stats.
MEMS has made 31 responses thus far.
Combining MEMS Pond Creek and Medford facilities, the Average time from called to pulling out of their building was 1 min 20 sec.
Enroute times have been 100% compliant.
The Pond Creek City agreement response times have been 100% compliant. Averages from being dispatched to on scene are:
Pond Creek: 4 min 15 sec
Medford: 3 min
County: 15 min 36 sec (including calls to West of Manchester and Northeast of Deer Creek). Advanced life support has been dispatched to 100% of all calls.
Paramedic responded to 84% of all calls.
Calls dispatched by a Certified EMO have been 100%.
So, this is all very encouraging. We have many people behind the scenes working hard to keep our rural county safe.
Also BIG THANKS to the 522 board for their ongoing devotion and hard work. I encourage more participation in the 522 board meetings. This is our opportunity to have a voice in your county’s EMS service. I will gladly help citizens find their 522 representative or I will relay any concerns for any citizen.
