| Regional CQI What do you think? The RETAC recently received word that we will receive funding to continue to develop our Regional CQI/Regional Medical Direction Program. In January the Foothills RETAC and the Mile-High RETAC joined together with the Denver Metro EMS Medical Directors to work together to address regional prehospital issues. The two RETACs together have 55 prehospital transporting agencies and 34 Medical Directors for those agencies. Not all of the Medical Directors in our RETACs currently participate in the DMEMSMD group, but we hope to bring ALL of them together to work on issues facing EMS today through this program, and build on the great work that the DMEMSMD group has accomplished so far. Randy Hamm, a Paramedic/RN with tons of great experience, has been hired by both RETACs to start building this program. Many of you will hear from Randy shortly if you haven't already. He will be out there finding out what our agencies are currently doing with CQI, and working with the Medical Directors to ascertain how to best combine efforts for regional data. For our RETAC, Drs Peter Vellman, Todd Dorfman, and Jeff Beckman will lead the efforts. They will work with Randy and the RETAC Clinical Care Committee to develop this program. It is important to note that this has absolutely nothing to do with usurping the agency Medical Directors or their authority. It's a way for the Medical Directors to work TOGETHER for things such as identifying best practices, and gathering regional data. Much more to come as we move along with the program. Stay tuned! |
